What you can do about Trump and his underlings:

The amazing thing about this plan is that at the base grassroots level, it requires very little organization and almost no money at all. What it basically boils down to is good old fashioned activism. That’s right, citizens exercising their rights and duties as citizens, which can be done either in groups or individually, but the more who do it, the greater the impact. Here is a recap of just the four simplest things that individuals or small groups can d to make a difference;

Step One; Townhalls

Most members of Congress hold regularly scheduled “townhalls”, where they show up and brag about what a wonderful job they’re doing, and to listen to constituents. Stand up and make your feelings known on issues, and press your MoC for an answer or solution. Hold his feet to the fire. There are other constituents there who may want an answer to that too. If he sidesteps or doesn’t answer, spread the word by every means available to you to make sure the rest of the district knows he’s “out of touch”.

Step Two; Non-townhall Events

Every MoC loves holding public events back home to cut ribbons and kiss babies and stuff. Those are “photo ops”. Show up and hold his feet to the fire some more. Ask him about racism, Social Security, marriage equality, whatever will get the crowd thinking. This can lead to confusion and uncertainty, which may create a reaction that makes him or her look bad at home. No politician wants to look bad in front of the home crowd.

Step Three: District Office Sit ins and Meetings

All MoC have district offices, and believe it or not, they actually go there when they’re at home to check in and deal with local matters. You should be able to get their schedule of attendance from the district office staff. Show up! Demand a meeting with them. If you see them, make your feelings known, and demand answers. Remember, they don’t know who you are, they have no idea how much reach or influence you may have over others in the district. If they refuse to meet with you, take to social media and broadcast that to the world, that your MoC is imperious and unwilling to listen to constituents concerns. If you know anybody in the local media, say a reporter, talk to them. Who knows, you might even end up on local television, and think how kewl that would be.

Step Four: Coordinated Calls

This one is the cheapest, and has the best potential to get the attention of a MoC. Get a group together who are passionate about an issue, say Social Security or the ACA. The more the better. At an opportune moment, avalanche your MoC with a barrage of phone calls about the issue. If they get enough phone calls speaking in unison on an issue, especially without a dissenting response, it may make them worry about a revolt “at home” over this issue, and force them to reconsider.

The reason I said in the title that it might already be working is because we’ve just seen it in action. A couple of days ago the GOP House tried a little bait and switch to gut the Office of Congressional Ethics. They had to walk it back within 18 hours. Why? It was widely reported that GOP members of the House were deluged with angry e-mails and phone calls from their constituents, demanding that they reverse the action or face the wrath of the voters. If there is one thing that every politician is extremely sensitive to, it’s his or her popularity at home, they have to run for reelection again!

There is one more thing of beauty about this plan. While it was put together intended to be used on the members of the US Congress, it is universal. All state legislators have district offices, they also have state offices with phones. You want to start flipping some of these Red states Blue?

‪The resistance of "Indivisible" is taking off. In fact it may well already be working!
