They were lying back when they said they were leaving. The media did but they didn't. I know how this works. They're still here in Maine too.
Which reminds me, I have to write this out so I don't forget it.
I'm going to tell you and I need feedback so you're it, initially.
Things need to move a bit, the resistance is in a slow spot and could use a nudge, a new tactic which I was pondering earlier and I had this idea.
Given that our elected representatives seem to have forgotten who their employers are, we need to remind them. One way to do that is to civilly meet with them at their offices or impromptu events.
I think we should do just that and calmly present the case that they are failing their performance evals and they will need to be replaced for failure to perform the essential duties of their employment. Simple message followed by three issues they need to address to satisfy your purpose for the visit whether they tell you what you want to hear or not, state your concerns. That is the main activity one's intent should be focused on during each action... to have a few minutes to discuss your concerns with your employee who needs to know what you want from them.
And we should all try to do this, every day, everywhere, all at once . Protest squads, instead of standing in the street, line up. Seriously, wherever these people go, there should be a line of constituents standing calmly in a line on public walkways, waiting to have a moment with their employee. Every day, everywhere with signs imploring them to do their jobs as defined in the Constitution (like, remember that?).
This can be executed by having groups ready to show up at the office they will be at that day or whatever event. If it's public event go in, if it's a private event, wait outside, in a line. Line up outside the door in DC and at home, wherever they go, there's a line of employers waiting for them. There are enough of us to do it in shifts. The longer the line, the easier it is to get press.
They can't call you a mob or a riot if you are calmly standing in a line on the sidewalk or a corridor. They are our employees, public servants. It is time for the employer to lay down the line and line up demanding they listen up. Be civil but firm.
What do you think? That's the raw idea.
Jump on the activist forum and see what help can be offered there.
Do you go to protests? It is the best way to meet people that are lit! and learn from each other.
Except...
They do not see anyone who is not rich as their employer. Our five dollar donations did not get them the millions and millions they needed to get elected in this country. Rich people giving big donations did. And, for reasons that I would love to get into but cannot due to... other reasons... those donors are not as... enthused... as we are about stopping this regime. Some do not like what is going on, but I have not seen a real reaction to it from anyone who 'matters' in this sociopolitical landscape... so... it is a great idea, but until it is those with the real money standing in their office, well...
It's just an idea but it could work in some places and I think we should everything we can.
If enough people are standing in line with signs and expressing a desire to speak to their reps, could make a difference for some. A reasonably long line standing there at the door wherever they go might get on their nerves a bit. Signs that remind them of their real employers.
