I have just contacted New York Senators Schumer, Gillibrand and Congressman Raskin to please bring impeachment proceedings against Trump now!
Musk and Company has already taken over the machinery of government thanks to Trump. We are already having a coup with our government no longer in control of our government.
I urge you to make holding the President accountable for this your top legislative priority.
The severity of this crisis demands immediate action. I call on you to initiate and support impeachment proceedings against President Trump. The integrity of our government and the trust of the American people depend on Congress demonstrating that no one is above the law.
I request a prompt response outlining your position and planned course of action regarding this matter. Additionally, I am eager to understand how I, as your constituent, can support efforts to uphold constitutional accountability.
The preservation of our democracy requires decisive action, and I trust you will rise to this challenge. I look forward to your reply and to working together in defense of our nation’s founding principles.
Thank you for always posting where to contact to resist. Which method is most effective, besides all of them? Does the Resist bot hit the most places? I’m getting no response from my Kentucky people, Mitch did not respond, Rand Paul was generated email response.
By and large, it's usually not worth it to contact members of Congress other than your own. Resistbot's advantage is it makes it easier to send.
By and large the hierarchy is:
-personal meetings
-phone calls
-snail mail letter (individual)
-email message (individual)
-snail mail letter (canned)
-email message (canned)
-online petition, social media, etc
Your next step, I'd think is to either a) start working with someone who is doing other sorts of outreach (the Wisconsin Supreme Court campaign in Eyes or the Black Lives Matter or union campaigns mentioned in today's List being great examples; b) write a letter to the editor; c) join up with your local Indivisible and/or other interested folks in your area and either try to set up a meeting with staff at your local office or do a protest there.
I live in DC. What is the best way to contact a Congressperson without revealing that they don't directly represent me. (At this point, they ALL represent me).
By and large, it's usually not worth it to contact members of Congress other than your own, which for DC sucks. (Though it's hard for them to verify if you're contacting them via phone).
I think more effective action in DC is joining groups doing in-person protests or office visits for members of Congress - that's a powerful image and no one feels the need to check your address. There are some good activist groups in both MontCo and northern Virginia you could try to connect with, and it's an option a lot of us who have real representatives can't participate in easily. (Although again, it's hard for them to verify if you call.)
Excellent analysis and trailblazing as a path. I too look for a way to extract the country from the mass psychosis. Few stop to think about the root cause of this dilemma, but Carl Jung understood it well. Mass psychosis is the advent of deluded people. You see those questioned at a Trump rally and you say “How can they be that deluded?” And then you forget about that delusional interview you just watched with YOUR OWN EYES. You do not do the next step: add it all up. It adds up to Mass Psychosis. You are led by a psychopathic neo-fascist that has deluded masses of people.

Thank you for speaking up!
I so appreciate Rogan's List as a means to focus action and (sometimes) write the appropriate language for me. Thank you.
Happy to help!

I’m giving Mitch and Rand Paul something to chew on every day, not that they are interested in listening.

I work in an Indivisible cell as it is, but we are talking about using our proximity to a greater extent than we have.
