68. Okay, folks, let's WORK this!!! Here's how:
Tue Jan 9, 2018, 03:15 PM
Jan 2018

Call DiFi's office. Either via the usual Congressional (202) numbers OR the TOLL FREE Capitol Hill switchboard numbers in my sig line.

Or look her up online and call one of her regional offices.

TELL HER "THANK YOU!!!" THANK her! Thank her for her courage and willingness to GO BOLD! Tell whatever staffer picks up that this is great and how much you love it and appreciate it and how grateful you are that she showed TRUE guts.

As a parent, I learned that you don't reward or reinforce bad behavior, BUT, you ENCOURAGE more good behavior by rewarding and reinforcing that. We certainly are able to call and complain when they do things of which we don't approve, right? Therefore, when they do something right, they need to hear the "attagirls" and "attaboys" that they've earned. If they get a lot of those, it will encourage them to do more of the same.

Add calcium supplements to their backbones!!! It MATTERS. And it makes a difference, sometimes a BIG difference.

Please never forget this "Golden Rule" of representative democracy: If they think YOU don't care, they won't, EITHER!
