[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. So it's bad. We can't just whine about it. People need to take calm, strategic action to stop it.
But I'm never had to defend against govt overreach this shocking and I've never lived in a country like the one we have now, where the president tries to hurt his own constituents for frivolous reasons -- everyone from universities, to law firms that years ago employed someone he doesn't like, to researchers and companies that save lives by developing cures and life-saving vaccines. 
So I don't know what that calm, strategic plan of action might be.
I can do my part in small ways, by donating as much as possible and talking to my conservative friends politely & factually about the rule of law. I can write letters to the editor and tweet, within certain boundaries. I'm not allowed to protest because of my nonpartisan job but I hope that others who can do that will. I have no desire to run for office but I hope others who would be strong candidates will.
If someone has bigger ideas, I hope they'll share them. [/quote]
Thank you. Call your reps every day. It takes less than 5 min and makes a huge impact (unless you live in DC). Www.5calls.org

Volunteer for VA elections. You can make calls. Start with Spanberger.

Volunteer with run for something. An organization that supports under 40 democratic &

independent candidates running in state and local elections.

Why “under 40”?  I get that 75 is over-represented in politics but damn, 50 is nowhere near 75. [/quote]

Because getting powerful in politics takes decades.  [/quote]
