Scotty's #Demaction Tip Of The Week As you are aware, The Senate & House Majority leaders are very important positions in Congress, but were you aware that there is a title that is overlooked by voters & those in #TheResistance ?
Tonight, I discuss the Party Whips 1/13
2/13
The main task of a party whip, is to keep track of the number of votes on a piece of legislation. They're also responsible, along with the party's leader, for “whipping up” support for a particular position.
Meet John Cornyn, Tx Senator & ex- Republican Whip

John Cornyn
Minority Whip 2013 to 2015
Majority Whip 2015 to 2019
He could have urged his Party to vote the right way on a number of issues while Majority Whip
But he chose complicincy instead
Poor John. #2020isComing and he should prepare for retirement

Last week, Big John passed the reigns over to Sen. John Thune of SD. He supported the Keystone pipeline & always falls in line with the GOP sound bytes.
But did You also know that Mr Thune was one of 8 Congressmen who visited Russia on July 4 2018?

Might I suggest that when You make your calls to @senatemajldr & your GOP Senators, that you place a call to @SenJohnThune as well.
Being new in his position, he may not understand that his colleagues need to support "We the people" not Russian Oligarchs

But the Senate isnt the only chamber with Whips
The House uses Whips as well
Meet Steve Scalise of La. You may recall that he was the Sen. who was shot in 2017 during the Senate baseball practice. Unfortunately, he hasnt helped to pass sensible gun laws since his recovery

The House minority leader's job is to enforce votes deemed crucial by party leadership & sees that members do not vote against the party leaders. The House Minority Whip works side by side with the Minority leader. In this case House Minority Leader @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy

. @SteveScalise has been the House Whip since 2014 & provides advice on what his colleagues should & shouldnt vote on & has been the Whip since before the 2016 elections
So it would be worth it to reach out to both these MOCs during your Calls to Action

Now, lets talk about the Democrats
House Majority Whip
When you think of SC, Lindsey Graham may pop into your head. So. Carolinians need all the support they can get & with Spkr Pelosi in the House, it seems only right to pay attention to her right hand man James Clyburn

Congressmen Clyburn is direct, outspoken, & has served as Majority Whip before when Pelosi served as speaker the 1st time.
@WhipClyburn is A true advocate for not only South Carolina rights, but all of our rights
Make sure & make him a part of your CTAs

Senate Minority Whip
Dick Durbin has been the Senate Whip for the Dems since 2005
He is smart & direct. Again, as the Whip, his task is to make certain that his colleagues dont vote against party lines.
Fortunately, that includes voting in line with what most Americans

Again, I recommend that you place @SenatorDurbin on you CTAs
He understands the Rule of Law and he is in our corner.

And finally, recommend that you thank the Congressional Whips who are worthy & dont let up on those who need an earful
The fabric of our Democracy is in danger
The Whips are an integral congressional tool that must not be over looked
