54. Ron Johnson is my Senator

and I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall. Like he absolutely couldn't care less what any Democratic constituent has to say. So I send the form letters when I get certain emails, but I'm also afraid he'll put me on a list as a traitor. That may seem ridiculous, but I have zero trust in him. My other Senator is Tammy Baldwin, and she pretty much always does what we want her to.

So one senator is a waste of time and the other is going to do the right thing anyway.

I don't know what is wrong with Republicans. They don't seem like real people.
