Nope. I’ve called my representatives and Senators repeatedly and it’s apparent they don’t care what their constituents think.

Montana? You all dodged this bullet at least https://dailymontanan.com/2025/02/20/montana-lawmakers-reject-ban-mrna-vaccines/

Yes, this time. But our legislature is filled with MAGA idiots, so I’m sure they will try again. ☹️

We have the right to petition for redress of grievances. But the Founders cleverly said nothing about Congress' duty to address our grievances.

NO! Don’t even try. Republicans do not care! Start thinking in a different direction. Be smart, tough, accurate and direct to those you are trying to reach. And I mean future democratic voters.
Young people have had enough of old white men.

You know what? I think we have to try every possibility and be relentless. It’s better than doing nothing or just preaching to the choir.

Petitions won’t have much effect, all that really matters is money and the power it brings.

Spending strike, careful choices of how you spend, not buying from companies they hold stock in… those have more kick.

Do both!
