Call Out in Action by Shari Adkisson, Otero County Democrats Ward 8 Acting Chair

Guest Submission by Shari Adkisson

Otero county Democrats:

I was just on an inspiring call with Move On, Indivisible, American Federation of Teachers and some congress persons. There were over 50,000 people on the call, and more were listening on You Tube so they have no idea how many people were on the call.

This call was to inspire us, ordinary Dems to get active and light a fire under our congress persons.

I am listing the 3 NM Dems, their office locations in state and their phone numbers in D.C.

1. What I would like you to do is call Senators Lujan and Heinrich and ask for their promise to NOT VOTE ON CONFIRMING RUSSEL VOUGHT FOR OPM Director. The hearings are this week and he must be stopped. He will be in charge of the Department that sent our the memo cutting off all funds last Monday. 2. Contact Lujan and Heinrich and ask them to take the following steps:

1. Deny a Quorum

2. Block Unanimous Consent

3. Max out debate time and ASK HARD QUESTIONS during the confirmation hearings. 

4. DELAY, DISRUPT – force roll call votes, quorum calls, and proceedural delays to slow everything down

5. BLANKET OPPOSITION – Don’t vote for ANY nominees!

6. NO BUSINESS AS USUAL THIS IS A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. BLOCK, DELAY AND OBSTRUCT. RESIST NOW.

You do not have to know what all this means (THEY will know) but we have to let them know how we feel.

I am listing their phone numbers and website links to go directly to the contact sheets. Copy and Paste these 6 items in the contact form for Lujan and Heinrich and only #6 for Vasquez.

We will also be making an in person visit to both Gabe Vasquez’s and Ben Ray Lujan’s office on Wednesday, Feb 5th in Las Cruces. Of course they will not be there, but I certainly cannot afford to go to Washington DC to see them in person. Heinrich’s closest office is in Roswell, and I just can’t to that right now.

Contact me at 575-442-1676 or weatherscf@yahoo.com if you want to go with me to Las Cruces on Wednesday.

Gabe doesn’t need items 1-6, as that only pertains to Senators. But there are things he can do to slow things down in the house!

PLEASE JOIN ME IN SNOWING OUR LOYAL DEMOCRATIC ​CONGRESS-PERSONS INTO DOING WHAT WE NEED DONE TO SAVE DEMOCRACY.

Any questions, feel free to contact me.

Block, Delay, and Obstruct. Resist Now to get this constitutional crisis solved.
