A day, a week, a month...without buying anything from any of these corporations. Drop our credit cards, cancel Prime, Disney channel, strike in front of Walmart. Protest all of these snake haired behemoths. The code is red, the floods are rising...last night people in the Bronx died of a floods!! Can we organize this kind of action? Let's try!!

Fellow readers of this newsletter, contact your Congressperson and Senators and tell them to vote yes on the Reconciliation Bill.

It’s easier to do than you think. I use resistbot, which allows me via text message, to compose a message to my representatives on the Hill. Resistbot sends the message via email or fax for me. If there is a really important piece of legislation that is causing a lot of people to contact their lawmakers and overwhelm the phone lines, resistbot still gets your message through. My senators and congressman have responded to the correspondence that I’ve send using resistbot, so I know it works.

It’s free, or you can contribute $5/month (which is what I do). It takes 5 minutes tops to use resistbot. You can do it while waiting in line, waiting for your food to heat up in the microwave, waiting on hold while calling customer service, etc. You can even do it while sitting on your toilet.

And contact your lawmakers on more than just the reconciliation bill. Contact them for any piece of environmental legislation. Contact them to tell them that they aren’t doing enough and to stop cow-towing to big oil.
