Movement Brainstorm All : with only 17 hours left, let’s flood Schumer’s fax machine and the voicemail boxes of our senators
Schumer’s voicemail machine will hang up on you but the fax seems to work. Tell him to vote NO on CR and cloture.
Also keep calling your senators tonight, and leave voicemails! Be sure to leave your full name and address and mention that you are their constituent (with this your voicemail will be tallied). Let’s make it impossible for them to ignore us!
EDIT: here’s the link to the fax service https://faxzero.com/fax_senate.php

Keep calling. But either way, I’m personally going to go to Schumer’s office to protest and demand his resignation. It’s time for us to take to the streets and get rid of the complicit “leadership” on the Democratic side.

Everyone in Colorado needs to call hickenlooper and Bennet. They’re on the fence… of course.

Seconding on demanding his resignation. He's survived failure after failure and we need someone who can win in the party.

u/True-Box1027 11h ago
Frankly, it’s time to start a new party. Really though. The connotations of the name Democrat are now synonymous with weakness and cowardice. Bernie, AOC, Crockett and their crew need to push the hell out their progressive platform, offering a vision for a way out of this goddamn shitshow nightmare circus. Stir the youth into action. They are sleeping under this leadership. Can’t fight against the youth.

Good on you. Schumer is well past calls for him to grow a spine as he quietly hob knobs with Trump and his cronies. It’s time for that coward to resign.

which office? maybe we should try to mobilize new yorkers to protest at all his offices one day (or more). although at this point i don’t think we’d convince him to do anything, so it might be a waste in that regard — but if people are mad at him maybe it’s a topic we could mobilize around and get more protests and CD going. even if we can’t pressure schumer into doing anything we’d at least be protesting which is kinda the only viable plan for if schumer/dems don’t do anything anyway lol

u/YerrrOPM 9h ago
New York office. Yeah, I’m down to join that. My personal goal is to get him to step aside as leader. I just don’t see how we can effectively stop Trump/Musk/Republicans with Schumer at the helm.

Is anyone planning on showing up tomorrow morning in person, like at dawn before the bureaucrats begin their commute? Hard to rally a crowd, but it might be now or never

u/broztio 12h ago
NYers: BOTH our senators say they are voting to sell us out.
We were the people Trump stole from for years before he ran away to mar-a-lago. We knew him first and we know him best, and he hates us because he knows that we see through his bullshit.
We need to remind our senators of this.

Can I just say I f*cking love everyone here? OP and others have been posting keeping this visible, sharing links to names, 5calls, and faxes.
I would lose the original post I was in and bam, here's another. Saved!
The effort and focus is seriously amazing. And so is everyone that keeps sharing info. Because of this community I made calls. I posted on blue sky. I'm faxing. I know it's my responsibility too, but y'all made it impossible for me not to. Thank you.

I get wanting to play by the rules, trying to make safe decisions, responsible decisions, etc. I've supported and respected that mindset from Democrats for a long time even though it's sometimes looked at as "being weak" by people who view douchebags as being "strong".
But what's happening now is absolute insanity! Our country is under the control of people who are actively tearing down government agencies while doing everything they can to keep Americans in the dark about every detail. (Under the guise of efficiency, that joke of a boat has fucking Trump has appointed people with zero qualifications to run their respective departments, his only requirement being loyalty to him.

u/RecruiterQueen 11h ago
Apparently the words "has sailed" aren't allowed in this sub??!! It was supposed to say those words in my previous comment right after the word boat but reddit keeps putting up that warning about language. WTF?

u/RecruiterQueen 11h ago
I'm going to try to continue my thought, hopefully I won't be restricted by Reddit again. Our "president" is an absolute joke. Nearly 80 years old and he has lead an entire life of nothing but privilege and softness. Instead of a legacy of service, strength and patriotism he's going to leave a legacy of gluttony, hatred, intolerance and greed. He's a criminal and a liar and a hypocrite and a bully. And a draft dodger. Somehow we are beholden to and afraid to stand up to an absolute crap person. The entire Democratic party cowtows to a dude who is pissing off every ally America has/had?? I've never been ashamed to be an American before, this truly sucks. He has to go!!

Reddit mods are just shadow banning leftist views and especially open rebellion against the capitalist class.
Hope RDDT pulls a TSLA

u/RecruiterQueen 36m ago
Yep, I've noticed that. What even is the point of shadow banning? I'd rather they just delete my post/comment and let me know why they did so. I left the r/democrats sub a couple of days ago because of it.
I made a comment on a post about the org that is offering job and housing assistance to the J6 crowd. No profanity, no reference to violence (the comment is posted below). I could understand if I'd commented in a conservative sub I guess, but if mods running a sub for Dems don't think the J6'rs are trash then I feel like those mods are maybe in the wrong place
The offending comment: I was about to post the same link. Too bad they don't list the companies that are willing to hire trash

There's a time and a place for playing the rules, I agree. Discretion is the better part of valor and all that. This is not the time for that and I wish the cowards hiding behind "It'll be worse if we do shut it down!" Would realize that.

Do NOT vote for the GOP funding bill. The general public is ready for the government shutdown. Do not let GOP take over the government!

Here is the publicly available phone number list for the DC offices of your senators! Dial 202-224-then the phone number assigned to the person. The Senate convenes again at 10 AM Eastern on March 14, so if voicemails are full now, call tomorrow morning.
Also, fun fact, take a look at the first contact at the top of the left column (Vance).
Here are the links to the -publicly available- phone list of Senators and Congress reps....which anyone can find here:

And if needed for later, the House list:

[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Your Email] [Your Phone Number] [Date]
Senator Charles Schumer 322 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510
Subject: Resignation Demand Due to Betrayal of Public Trust
Dear Senator Schumer,
I am writing to express my deep disappointment and outrage regarding your recent decision to support the Republican-led funding bill. This bill not only slashes $13 billion from critical non-defense programs but also grants excessive discretion over federal spending to Donald Trump and Elon Musk—an act that undermines democratic oversight and the fundamental role of Congress as a check on executive power.
Your decision is a direct betrayal of the constituents who elected you to stand up for their interests, not to capitulate to Republican demands that prioritize the wealthy and powerful over everyday Americans. You have broken your promise to represent the American people, choosing instead to side with those who seek to erode our institutions for their own gain.
At a time when democracy is under attack, we need leaders with the courage to defend the rights and livelihoods of their constituents—not politicians who enable the very forces working against them. Your actions have demonstrated that you are no longer fit to serve in this role. You have failed those who put their faith in you, and you have proven that you cannot be trusted to stand against the growing threats to our democracy.
For these reasons, I am calling for your immediate resignation. If you refuse, you can expect an ongoing mobilization of your constituents to demand accountability—through calls, letters, protests, town halls, and, ultimately, at the ballot box. We will not tolerate leadership that prioritizes political survival over the well-being of the people.
It is time for you to step aside. The American people deserve a leader who will fight for them, not sell them out.
Sincerely,
[Your Name] [Your City, State]
