I awoke this morning with such a heavy heart as one does after a loved one dies and the world seems changed forever. We are all heartbroken.
It’s easy to get lost in the darkness but the greatest tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg is to fight and organize and resist with all our might. I think her death has steeled our resolve tenfold.
When we wipe away our tears, we must gather our strength and fight with the same determination that RBG inspired in all of us.
This is a call to action. Please share.
Here are the Phone numbers & email addresses of crucial Senators to contact, especially if you are a constituent. Target candidates in vulnerable Republican senatorial races or those who just hate Trump. CALL THEIR OFFICES ON THE PHONE. Call them every day. Say (as politely as you can) that you request that the Senate not confirm another supreme court nominee until after the next president is sworn in on January 20, 2021.
Reports say that Lisa Murkowski has already stated she WILL NOT vote for a new supreme court justice until after the next president is in office. Call her!
Lisa Murkowski: (202) 224-6665 (Hates Trump)
Mitt Romney: (202) 224-5251 (Hates Trump)
Susan Collins: (202) 224-2523 (Is going to lose anyway – so should hate Trump)
Martha McSally: (202) 224-2235 (Vulnerable)
Cory Gardner: (202) 224-5941 (Vulnerable)
We have to have FOUR Republican senators who will vote against in order to save the supreme court. Don’t waste your energy complaining to McConnell. Don’t try to reason with him (but you said in 2016…) that is a waste of energy.
And donate money to every senate candidate we need to win an election and stay in office:
John Hickenlooper in Colorado: https://hickenlooper.com/
Mark Kelly in Arizona: https://markkelly.com/
Sara Gideon in Maine: https://saragideon.com/
Cal Cunningham in North Carolina: https://www.calfornc.com/
We are truly in the fight of our lives. Weep, but fight.
