I'm punch drunk at this point. What are we going to do? What is being done?

Please call your Senators and Representative, it really does help. Every call counts for hundreds (or even thousands) of emails.

http://callday.org/ makes it pretty easy. You'll either get voicemail or an intern who will take notes on what you say. It's very low-pressure.

Won't work. Think a little harder. Why do you think this has happened?

Hint. Answer this brain-teaser: 'How can a piece of paper with words on it restrain legislators effectively?' Has history validated the proposition that constitutions are effective tools for restraining governments?

Do keep in mind that your call will be recorded and stored for possible future analysis of trouble elements.

All the more reason for all of us to call.

You americans should go out on the streets and protest, like Brazil.

I want to do this, but I think it only makes sense for big cities. Am I wrong? My nearest city has ~8k people. Should I stand with a placard at the town square?

Call your senators and representative, it really helps. Keep it short and to the point, write out what you're going to say before you call. You'll get put through to voicemail or an intern who will take notes on what you say. It's very low-pressure.
