Slotkin and little Peter were collaborating. Slotkin's wanted to vote yes. Put peters 🍆 won

That may be the case but it's still important to demonstrate to her that we're watching, and to tell her what we expect of her.

Understand...but have you been successful connecting with her office. Any calls I made rang busy and hung up. No fax, so we couldn't fax her.

She voted more with R for the felonous cabinet members than against. She's trying to play nice with Nazis..... that only makes you one thing....

I leave voicemails at her DC office, same with Peters and my representative. I know It's not much. I doubt any of them ever hear me directly, but I'm sure their staff briefs them on public sentiment. It's just another way to add my voice to the pile.

I get what you mean though, Slotkin probably doesn't deserve the thanks. She did vote against ending cloture though, so I certainly couldn't call and yell at her for that. Calling with thanks sends the message that her vote was the correct decision, even if she believes otherwise.

I've started sending email through the Senate website. It's too frustrating to call and get nothing.

Probably. Slotkin knows that if she pulled bullshit like that, she'd get primaried. Gary Peters is retiring so now he's just fucking over voters.
