House Democrats should be on the floor, every second of every day of the #GOPShutdown. 24/7. Saying that they are working, why is the #GOP on Vaca? Schedule that shit! Show how the GOP are loser slackers.

Unless you’re personally planning to lead us into civil war, cut the shit with β€œit’s pointless to call our reps”.

They work us.
We pay them.
Let’s not surrender the basics.
Ever.
And imagine if EVERYONE called.

They’re still political animals and we need just a few.

PLEASE
CALL
THEM
