I am in Lincoln NE these days and both Sen's (Rickets & Fischer) have an office in the same building. I will be visiting both tomorrow in the morning.

My Rep (Flood) is nearby, so his office is going to be the final one (if I don't get arrested). All three are R's, which makes it easy for me, they will get no mercy!

Then I have been a member of the Arbor Day Foundation for years, and I'll get more coffee, and make it my final visit. After the SoCal fires, they have the resources to plant a tree for a buck apiece in affected areas. $10, 10 trees, $50, 50 trees. Everything helps, and they have boots on the ground. https://www.arborday.org/

There is an Indivisible meet-up (video) on Feb 5, and I am hooking up with them as well. Lincoln has a Chapter, but I haven't been able to pinpoint the precise location.

We also have a Democratic Office here, but I think I'm going to have to be a little more pro-active, silence is NOT an option.

You can find your local Indivisible Group by going to their site: https://indivisible.org

Don't go it alone, there is strength in numbers and some damn good ideas that can be used locally, we can stop this!

Let's crush this!
