Have you donated to Biden/Harris in the last 24 hours?
Have you contacted your elected reps to stay the course?
Just looking for a snapshot as theres a lot of info flying around. No judgement on my part; I donate sparsely as Im not in great financial shape and today was the first time Ive contacted my elected officials this election cycle.

(28,788 posts)Democratic Representatives and Senators may serve their state constituents first, but they all swore an oath to uphold the Constitution which serves all The People.

(16,755 posts)I have contacted the offices of Jeffries and Schumer as they are in leadership and should listen to people from outside their districts.

(28,788 posts)Contact leadership, but I dont think it hurts to contact people named in reports that counter what I think as a voter. If theyre speaking about national issues to national outlets that will affect me and mine, theyve invited me to contact them. (Looking at you, Shiff.)

(47,486 posts)If they manage to take Biden down, I will probably stop the one month donations, and block every Dem text message.
They'll get my vote, but nothing else for me to look forward to.

(66 posts)wanted to Vote for the "donated & contacted" option so I just sent an email to Sen. Murray. Thanks for the nudge!

(55,940 posts)My rep in Congress, after redistricting, is now again a Republican. My former Rep. is running for the Senate in Texas. I maxed out to him as well. Another, a Congressman from Arizona, is running for Senate there. I had breakfast with him in DC in April. I am in touch with my 3 friends in the Senate as well as one other in the House. She is a Rep. from Minnesota in a swing district. I maxed out to her as well. This is taking a heavy toll on the piggy bank, since I have to earn $4000 gross for every $1000 I contribute due to double taxation. But better now than later regrets.
A couple of my friends in the House think Joe Biden should step down. They are quite aware that I disagree.
