Midweek Mailing

April 15, 2026 by Edith Campbell   Leave a Comment

Wednesdays are my day to mail or email my representatives. Today, it’s emails to my representatives before their vote on HR 7661 to remind them that censorship violates the constitution. Because elected government officials still need that reminder. I also remind them that I am a voter. People who call or write are the ones who are most likely to vote.  

Here’s where you can find out how to contact your representative.

This form of resistance in critical in a democracy.  

I hope you’ll join me.

Be well and do good
