So, I’m asking: Phone your Senators and Representative TODAY. Do it for yourself. Do it for your family.
If you expect your politicians to work for you, do a little work for you, first. Phone, or better yet, see them face-to-face. Demand; demand; demand.
To find your members of Congress go to: https://www.congress.gov/. The U.S. Capitol switchboard is: 202-224-3121
When you get them on the line, say, “The federal government can’t run out of dollars, but my family can. I want Medicare for All, better Social Security, and an end to FICA. What are you doing to make that happen?“
Be polite, but don’t believe excuses like “deficits,” “debt,” or “inflation.” Those are phony excuses. The government is able to pay for tax cuts for the rich and for wars; it can pay for your benefits.
Recruit your friends to do the same. The more voices, the louder the voices, the more the politicians will listen.
Keep at it.
Do it again and again, and yet again when the new Congress takes over in January. Tell me what excuses you run into.
