Contacting Your Senator/Congressman

Study to show thyself approved..
or else don't complain.

~ Step One: Learn the guidelines of communicating with your Senators and Representatives in Congress thru email or by phone.

HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH CONGRESS


~ Step Two: Find out who represents you.. who is casting your vote as to what our government supports or rejects. Remembering that "silence is consent" meaning that if you do not communicate how you want your vote cast, the person representing you gets to cast your vote according to what they want, or someone else wants. If we're not gonna take the time to use our voice, we forfeit our freedom and our rights.

FIND YOUR REPRESENTATIVES

~ Being one voice feels small.. but if everyone who fails to voice their opinion to their representative would go ahead and speak up.. a crowd of voices all saying yay or nay would result and would be heard. Your voice matters.. think HORTON HEARS A WHO.

~ The form above in step two is so very simple.. you can use it several ways, but I recommend just typing in your zip code and nothing else. It will immediately generate who your senator and representatives are.


~ Step Three: with the phone numbers and websites generated after entering your zip code above. Either call each person's office, or go to their official website and send a message thru their email. For example, as I am doing this morning, ask that they vote against anything that would take us to war against Syria that would involve us in their country's civil war.

~ Yes, takes a bit of effort and study.. about an hour.. but you gotta ask yourself... is ownership of your freedom and voice worth it or not?..

~ If not, then don't complain that you have no voice in the affairs of this nation.. or about the decisions made by ppl who represent you. They aren't mind readers. Your silence is consent to do whatever they want or someone else wants. Something to think about.

~ Actually, its something to motivate you to not just think about it, but get up and do something about it. Something constructive, no matter how big or small it may seem. Just do what you are able and cover it with prayer


~ There are two Senators (Senate).. and one Representative (Congress).. for my zip code. FYI: our governent involves three branches that balance each other (the Balance of Power).. the Senate, the Congress, and the President. The three of them hammer out legislation according to what the ppl tell them they want, and then they vote, and the majority rules.

~ Here is a sample of the letter I sent to all three of my Senators/Congresswoman..

Dear Senator (so and so),

I appreciate all that you have done in representing the voters of (my state), including myself and my family. You do a great service for our state. I am writing to request that you would vote against all legislation that would involve our nation in the current civil war in Syria, whether sending arms or soldiers or aide of any kind to either side.

Thank you for your consideration. I trust you to represent my heart and my concerns to the best of your ability. May God guide you and give you wisdom in this and in all such matters as you serve the voters of our state and our nation.

Blessing to you and your family and your staff,

(my name)


~ anyway.. just type something similar.. keeping it polite and brief, but very to the point of your concerns... oh and it will ask you for the topic when you are sending an email on their websites.. just select or type in FORGEIGN AFFAIRS. They need your address to be sure you are in their region of the state, and one of the ppl they are actually representing.

~ Years ago I heard a statistic that for every email someone in govt recieves, it represents the sentiment of thousands of ppl that don't take the time to contact them. Email/Contact is hugely important! It's common knowledge among our representatives that when they receive one contact from a voter, it really represents thousands of ppl in their region. They take it very seriously. You have more power and a bigger voice than you realize =)

the TEA PARTY COMMUNITY (conservative tyrants)

peanut butter sammich time!

oh, and Good Morning to you Tootie ^_^

-------------

I will never eat a peanut butter sandwich now without thinking about being blackballed from The Tea Party Community, that supposed alternative to FB that Fox news endorses... I posted about having a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast and a pummello for supper.. and the mods stormed onto my page uninvited and scolded me.. it was pretty bizarre.. interesting how so often ppl become what they fight against. Their claims of liberal cencorship are minor compared to TCP's abuse of power.. craziness..

I called them tyrants for coming onto my page uninvited and scolding me for posting about a peanut butter sandwich in conversation with friends. Some woman mod asked if I was confused about where fb was.. so they blocked me from the site. As farfetched as it sounds.. that's the cut and dry of it.. pretty laughable. But it drove me back to fb, joy joy ^_^




 

Tyrants and The TEA PARTY COMMUNITY

~ wow.. I DO NOT ENCOURAGE anyone to participate in the Tea Party Community (TPC).. I didn't know what it was about, just thought it was a social network for conservative ppl.. not so.

It is a continual stream of meanspiritedness.. posts and pictures making fun of political opponents in mean ways. I had posted about eating a peanut butter sandwich and one of the staffers came on and scolded me.. asked me if I was "confused about where facebook was?" She wasn't even on my friends list.. just popped on uninvited and unprovoked and got hateful.

Sad cuz I met a number of amazing ppl there. Some were as amazed as I was that they took offense about a post about food.. so one of them launched a recipe protest, lol.. and has begun posting recipes to share. So yeah, very disappointed. They made Facebook's intrusions look like child's play. 

After being attacked by their staffer, miss PINK TEA PATRIOT and her co-hort, Ann Morrissey Eul, I questioned the character of those leading TPC as being tyrants themselves.. They advertise themselves as an alternative to facebook for conservatives, and then attack ppl for posting some of the most popular topics on social media.. food... I know it sounds like there should be more to the story, but it was honestly a bizarre and unprovoked attack.. ppl reading the comments even posted commenting that they couldn't see anything I had said that would insite such an attack or any offense by anyone. TPC IS RUN BY TYRANTS..  the antithesis of those they attack on the far left. They have become everything they speak against concerning lack of character and the abuse of power.

Found myself black-balled and banned from their site the very next morning. No matter. If they represent the Tea Party as a whole.. I want no part of it.


~ "I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice For All"

Keeping in mind that justice for some is not a pleasant thing.. those who commit injustice do not see such equality as a good thing.. those who commit injustice want to revoke the rights of ppl to be justly treated.. tyrants and wolves of government have removed such a pledge from the lives of our children because they want to enslave them. Sounds Harsh.. but often times, reality is.
