You are lucky if you have a republican US Senator or US Representative.

You may be able to make a difference by telling them how you feel about the presidential war powers.

I hope they return to office with an avalanche of emails and voicemails.

Many are at risk in 2026.

promises to pass the message on - that's about it. On emails, I get a canned message....period.

Sadly the GOP supports Trump no matter what he does and the plurality of America seem to feel the same way. Hard to believe, but true. Sadly, if we are not able to beat someone like Trump - an immoral, unethical, indecent candidate - something is wrong. Bad wrong.
