Serious question, not seeking joke answers: when the race is called for Biden, where do we phone to make it clear we want actual Dems as cabinet members (even temp ones if McConnell won't affirm) and not Repubs or "moderates"?
Which phone lines do we flood?
Which phone lines do we flood?
First, I want:
- voting rights secured for all, with paper mailed ballots and universal registration and felon re-enfranchisement (or we'll never win another election again).
- covid lockdown and relief funds (or we'll die).
- Kavanaugh and Barrett impeached.

This is after taking office (thank you, @talkwordy!). Does anyone know about the interim duck period? https://twitter.com/talkwordy/status/1324717622865334273
If you reply to this with a defeatist "but Biden won't, tho" attitude, fuck out of my mentions. You can either be a part of the push push push from the left towards making things better, or you can go mope at your local Starbucks and feel smart about your political cynicism.
I *don't* trust that Biden will do the right thing without us pushing him. Which is why I'm organizing TO PUSH ON HIM. I'm not going to give up just so I can feel clever for having given up.
We also absolutely need to immediately stop caging people at the border and separating families. We need investigations into:
- The lost children and reuniting families.
- ICE atrocities.
- Trump administration (and family) crimes.
- Truth and reconciliation.
- The lost children and reuniting families.
- ICE atrocities.
- Trump administration (and family) crimes.
- Truth and reconciliation.
All of that should be done in parallel with immediately securing voting rights and voting security from electronic meddling, I think.
I know a lot of things will have to wait until we get SCOTUS and the Senate, but we ought to be able to do these things and we need to start on them now and not January, I think.
So, I repeat the question:
How do we make our will known to the president elect NOW (not in January) (and not to my senators, which I already know how to contact).
@JoeBiden, will you have an email we can send messages to for the next few months? A phone line? A mail box?

This seems very useful! https://twitter.com/EnbyFoxGrrl/status/1324724044789415938?s=19
People are asking me why we're doing this now and not waiting until the win is official or until January. Biden isn't going to wait until January to think about cabinet picks. We need to make it clear NOW that we want no Republicans. We can't wait until the announcement.
Hello, new followers telling me contact my senators with my wish list! Bad news: I live in Texas!
(I still call my reps every week, but it really doesn't matter to Cruz and Cornyn.)
. @rufusgifford, do you know the answer to this? Thank you! https://twitter.com/AnaMardoll/status/1324722656990605312?s=19
My senators are Cruz and Cornyn. I call them weekly, but I promise you they won't be passing my wishlist up to Biden. I want a phone/mailing address for Biden.
