Please stop arguing about the plastic straws. Commercial fishing and misuse of beaches are what kill sea turtles. It was ableist to focus so hard on them in the past, and it's ableist now. Call your Senators and Congressional Representatives and ask them to fight the illegal coup instead, please! - ThreadSky

Thank you! My wife is disabled in a way that means it's often easier for her to use a straw than not. Also, I just like using them!

Here are words, if you want to adapt them:

My name is [legal name], and I am calling from [town], zip code [zip]. I am calling to insist that [Sen./Rep./whoever] use [his/her/their] power to protect American citizens, in [state] and beyond, by stopping Elon Musk’s illegal coup.

Musk was not elected. He is using his access to carry out petty personal vendettas and to increase his own wealth. He is stealing from our country, and he must be stopped. [I had a line here about not being stopped by mall cops, maybe skip.] Please do something. We are in a Constitutional crisis.

I also thanked my rep for his work trying to end the tax cuts for the wealthy, because it's nice to tell them when they're doing something right.

I haven't heard that Congresspeople had yet tried to go to a federal building and been kept out by mall cops, so I also left out that line for him.
