I just called my representative's local office. I was requested to send an email to his media contact. I sent the email. Let's see....

Edit: Just called the Senators too. Nothing on the phones. Sent an email to them too.

We have called every day this week. No one answering the phone. Goes to recorded message. We will keep trying!

I just reached out to my Congressman, Brad Wenstrup in Ohio, yesterday (12/27/21). It's very early, but I will let you know if he responds to my request. He and others in the U.S. House of Representatives have done nothing more than praise the jab. I have heard that there may be hope in reaching out to Senator Ron Johnson in Wisconsin. He has held hearings on the subject of vaccine injuries and deaths from the Covid-19 Vaccines.

Not gonna lie... Some political interns forward your contact information directly to Bangladeshi scammers.

Vicknaird and I were discussing her representative, Kansas 3rd district rep Sharice Davids. (I'm in the 2nd district, but lived in the 3rd district for about 40 years). She is a good example of what's going wrong with politics. She's elected by Democratic national party money and PAC paid commercials, not by her own merits. Neither group cares if she is even literate, only that she will vote as they tell her. And that is going on with all the young members of congress. Some of the older members of congress may be a little more independent, but they are still very beholden to campaign finance money.

I contacted my Senator and Congressman and no response!

I think some folks are shy to phone them directly.

If you're one of them, at the very least, become a Twitter warrior and write some comments in relevant places, directly confronting the individuals of high visibility. Retweet, press like. Whatever.

Just do something. Anything.

When you have a chance, Steve, could you tell us how you were resurrected?

I believe it may also assist to resurrect others.

Is this something that Twitter decided to do out of the blue?

I keep seeing "news" stories about Omicron's health risks to the unvaxed, especially pregnant women, but when I follow the links I never find actual science, only statements by the CDC, Fauci, proposals for studies, Twitter graphs of "results", links to other "authoritative" articles, unsupported statistics too good to be true, etc. It all looks like a giant, well-orchestrated propaganda campaign to get us all, but especially pregnant women, vaxed! I also see lots of "fact checking" on the stories of vaxed mothers with stillbirths and dead babies. It all looks exactly like a depopulation campaign!!! Has anyone else noticed this, or seen any actual studies to contradict my theory?

Some of us are trying, but cannot reach any of the reps during their holiday break. I can leave messages, but that does not help if you need their responses today. I tried calling Rob Portman and Warren Davidson. I feel sure that Warren Davidson would answer the questions. Portman, not so much.

Local office did not want to respond to the questions and directed me to the Washington D.C. office - I had already called and left a message and hope to hear from someone soon, thank you.

I’ve tried to get through multiple times at both district and state offices and no one is picking up. I’ll keep trying.

I've got a brick wall, if you want to beat your head against it!

I don't think there is anyway to rescue the captured people who represent us in government. We need to vote them all out in the coming elections. We need to get involved locally to educate others and oversee the election process. I have emailed and called those who represent me in Washington and I received some canned email message that lacks sincerity.
