My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
Thank you for helping Senator Corey Booker conduct his 24 hour speech on Tuesday. [For Sen. Schiff: thank you also for putting a hold on Edward Martin for US Attorney for DC.] I urge the Senator to do more to disrupt Senate business to stop Trump’s agenda.
Background
Spring is here, and we may finally be seeing signs of Democratic Congressmembers growing spines. Yesterday, we saw Sen. Cory Booker giving a marathon floor speech for 25 hours and 5 minutes. Senator Booker’s extended speech served to hold up Senate business and blockade Trump’s agenda. It’s clear that our Senators are hearing the outrage of constituents for their overall weak leadership so far. Senator Booker’s speech and his colleagues’ participation are a great start—we’d love to see more of this.
Both of our senators, Sen. Alex Padilla and Sen. Adam Schiff, helped out by asking questions—allowing Sen. Booker to rest his voice while continuing to hold the floor.
Senator Schiff has also announced a hold on the nomination of Edward Martin for US Attorney for DC, citing his corrupt conduct.
These are the actions our Senators should be taking: speaking out for the people they represent, and using all the powers and procedures available to them to fight for their constituents. We’d love to see both Senator Padilla and Senator Schiff doing more things like this to obstruct the Trump/MAGA agenda.
Call your Senators and tell them: thank you and do more to fight for us!
