Now, we’re HIS problem.

Using this spreadsheet:

1. All election cycle, Donald Trump has been our problem. Now, we’re HIS PROBLEM, and since Congress serves us, SO ARE THEY. Let’s use the best tool at our disposal (our elected representation) to show Donald once and for all that, in our America, LOVE TRUMPS HATE.

2. Begin with the WEEKLY-CALL-TO ACTION. This is the #1 priority for calls.

3. Toward the end of the week, when you have made and followed up on the WEEKLY-CALL-TO-ACTION, make calls re: specific progressive issues that are important to you. Call about even-numbered issues on Thursdays and odd-numbered issues on Fridays. Try to avoid calling about an issue that is directly-related to the WEEKLY-CALL-TO-ACTION, since officials will likely receive lots of calls about this particular topic. If that issue is super important to you, just make extra follow-up calls using the WEEKLY-CALL-TO-ACTION script.

Then you need to open this Google doc nowand read for tips, scripts and specific guidelines on how to make your voice heard to your reps and block Donald Trump’s harmful agenda. It will offer a weekly call-to-action, in addition to guidelines for specific issues you might care about that you can raise regularly.  

It can be difficult or anxiety-inducing to know what to do or even what to say when you’re taking action. This guide helps you with all those barriers. It has scripts on what to say whether your rep is a Democrat or Republican, how to tailor your message for specific issues, and even what days to call.

Ben Folds Five – One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces

September ’75 I was 47 inches high
Mom said someday I would have
A bad ass mother G.I. Joe
For your little minds to blow
I still got beat up after class

Now I’m big and important
One angry dwarf
And 200 solemn faces
Are you
If you want to see me
Check your papers and your T.V.
Look who’s tellin’ who what to do
Kiss my ass good-bye

Don’t give me that bullshit
You know who I am
I’m your nightmare little man
Vic you stole my lunch money.
Made me cry.

Jane remember second grade
Said you couldn’t stand my face
Rather than kiss me you said
You’d rather die

Now I’m big and important
One angry dwarf
And 200 solemn faces
Are you
If you want to see me
Check your papers and your T.V.
Look who’s tellin’ who what to do
Kiss my ass good-bye

You’ll be sorry one day
Yes you will, yes you will
You shouldn’t push me around
Cause I will, yes I will
You will be sorry when I’m big
Yes you will be sorry

Folding@home

Easier than with the ol’ ps3!

http://folding.stanford.edu
Help Stanford University scientists studying Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, and many cancers by simply running a piece of software on your computer.
The problems we are trying to solve require so many calculations, we ask people to donate their unused computer power to crunch some of the numbers.
In just 5 minutes …
Add your computer to over 112,000 others around the world outputting 101,000 teraflops of computing power to form the world’s largest distributed supercomputer.
Step 1. Download protein folding simulation software called Folding@home.
Step 2. Run the installation. The software will automatically start up and open a web browser with your control panel.
Step 3. Follow the instructions to Start Folding or click here to run Folding@home directly in your Browser with Google Chrome.
Stanford University will send your computer a folding problem to solve. When your first job is completed, your computer will swap the results for a new job.
