this is from back in May, but while youre calling your representatives about the SCREEN act and KOSA, its worth including a mention about the 'Interstate Obscenity Definition Act' (IODA).

remember, you dont need to go into great detail, you just need to be another tally of citizens saying "no"

the number below doesnt work, as Stripe has changed their number, and is demanding a $2.99 fee to even tell you what it is.
however, this number DOES still work and will let you leave a message:

riot games is having a valorant esports live stream on twitch at 5 pm est later today, sponsored by mastercard. FLOOD THE CHAT WITH ANTI MASTERCARD PROPAGANDA, THEY WILL NOT SILENCE US. They will also presumably have censors built in to certain words, so type in like ma$tercard to get around it

Great idea. Mastercard DID NOT WANT to be brought up negatively in the context of their sponsorship of Riot's esports

Weaponize that against them

Schiff, if I get a response, usually ignores what I had to say entirely, justifies a previous bad vote poorly, and then redirects to something about not liking RFK Jr. but with no actual solutions.

This is why all my interactions with them end with my suggestion they resign.

Love that both of the senators from my state are the pits. I struggle with who is worse. Alex Padilla always sends me condescending replies about why he will not listen to me and will in fact be voting the opposite way, which usually boil down to him not actually knowing what he's talking about.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.
