I just wrote 2 Congressional Reps: my new one, & the one from my old district

The only hangup was I had to look up the 4-digit extension to both ZIP codes and click a few boxes saying I am not a robot. Anyway, the guy from my old district knows me and I'm still on the email list, so I just used my old address and new phone number for him -- and my new addy for my new Rep.

They are both Democrats, so I kept it short and sweet.

Body of message:
What in God's name are Democrats doing about this heinous act being done in our names?

I added a bit more, but not much. I think that pretty much says it all.

Happy Father's Day, DU.

but I may do it anyway just to annoy their staff.

On edit: I just sent both my NC Repub Senators this comment

I am writing to express my disgust with the Republican policy (and don't lie about it, it is a Republican policy) of terrorizing children by separating them from parents when they arrive at the borders to request asylum. If you do not stand up and fight this cruel and unusual punishment--which is tantamount to government mandated child abuse--you will never be able to call yourself a person of conscience again.
