On the Issues VS ResistBot

Seems a bit different. I used to buy into the "both are wrong and on the same team" theory. That is just an incorrect and false narrative. We elect our representatives... There is a place we can look at their past voting records, etc. ontheissues.org ... IT IS ON US TO VOTE and make sure we do our best to elect folks who work for US and not for the wealthy.

I agree. We all need to look into voting records, etc. Look who the best person is to put in office to work for us. I use ontheissues.org as I am sure there are other sites and articles as well. The website I posted lets you know stances that have been taken by certain candidates in the past and currently. Source: 12 months ago

Don't be fooled either. This isn't the government's decision to make. It's ours. The Federal Government has very limited powers. Most powers, and things that affect citizens, are controlled by the state governments. So if you care about something that needs to be changed like wealth inequality, Marijuana legalization, or public education, then get involved in your local politics. Open a new tab right now.

Yeah, I think Paul is correct. I went thru all the republicans at ontheissues.org a month or two ago and counted about 12 republicans who indicated they were open to some form of mj reform; maybe a couple who might be open to legalization. Noteworthy to mention there are 3 dem senators opposed to legal; 60 pro votes simply aren't there. Source: over 2 years ago

Contact your representative and two senators using Resistbot, Democracy.io, or manually. And ask other people to do so as well. Sure, it’s minuscule, but that’s the main tool we’ve got afaik. Source: 5 months ago

I discovered Resistbot a few years ago and have since contacted government representatives hundreds of times - it makes the process so easy. I do it through Facebook messenger. There's also a "trending" feature where I can see the hot topics of the day in between major events like the issue 2 votes. Source: 5 months ago

You can also use something like https://resist.bot to send messages to both at the same time. Source: 5 months ago

There are 43 comments so far. I was expecting thousands of comments. Comments can be with your name, company name, or anonymous. There's no required info you need to give other than the comment, no account required. Submitting a comment takes 'time to write comment + 5 seconds' - it was very easy. The comments have been open for 58 days, and they close in 20 days. Side note: Which of our reps should we call about... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
