Exactly. I don't think he's malevolent and even he was miffed by this DOGE stuff, but he's too much of a relic of a bygone era when Democrats were super wishy washy, centrist, and fetishized bipartisanship to a fault. The age of "Dems Playing Nice" is over! Time to get tough!

It's not to late to call him and demand he not turn yellow for the orange one.

Yeah about that. His senate voicemail hung up on me, only after several attempts to get through to it. It felt intentional.

Well, here's another way to contact the guy. Post your message under the "Budget" heading... https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/message-chuck

I did earlier this morning. Do we have a list of other potential defectors that we can call/email/message?

ItтАЩs too late now to change the outcome, but I called every single one of the senators who voted yes, and told them they are traitors. Sent Schumer an email as well as leaving a voicemail. CouldnтАЩt get through on the congressional switchboard numbers so I looked up each senators offices in their state and called each one until I was able to get through.

IтАЩm from Michigan, but I emailed Schumer anyway. He needs to hear this from people out of State too!

IтАЩm from NC. They sure donтАЩt have a problem asking me for money for out of state candidates. They can listen, too.

But the know when the phone is ringing off the wall and when their emails are full. DonтАЩt get discouraged.

I called.. not sure it does any good though. I am totally fed-up, disillusioned, disheartened, frustrated! Why so much concern about people being angered by a potential government shut down?? WhereтАЩs the concern about losing our GOVERNMENT? Where is the logic??

Exactly! If his logic was so solid, why wasnтАЩt he able to convince all the other damn senators who voted no?
