Senators have email or websites. They’re aware of mean tweets, but their offices record emails. I just wrote @marcorubio & @SenRickScott - again - asking them to uphold their oath. For my Florida friends, here are the sites: https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contact https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/contact_rick . 1/
I’d recommend civility. Remind them how their oath to the Constitution requires that they must represent the vast majority of Americans who still believe in upholding our democracy and ensuring the rule of law. 2/
Would also recommend those who write remind them that leadership requires proper action, exhibiting what right looks like...and how they vote will determine if the US survives and how we will be viewed in the world. 3/
The last election was important, to be sure. Most Americans stepped up & helped in the return to normalcy for our Republic. But in my view, what happens in this impeachment trial will determine who we are as a people. 4/
Our votes are always important. But right now, our words and influence are critical. We are all part of this nation, we must all be a part of this action. 5/
Oh...and I plan on writing @marcorubio and @SenRickScott every single day & hopefully millions of Floridians will join me. I also hope those in other states will make their voices heard as well. 6/
Every day I’ll also think about one young Iraqi man, who told me why he switched from being an insurgent to being a politician. He said the power of the finger (to vote), and his voice, was greater than the power of the gun. He was right. 7/end
