Resistance Fridays: I wrote a letter

...to Paul Ryan.

A real letter that I have signed and I will put in an envelope and put a stamp on and mail to Janesville, Wisconsin.

No, I'm not a constituent. Nor am I a Republican. But I am someone who is concerned about stuff. And he's in a position in which he can do stuff about stuff. Or not. And if we want stuff done (or stuff opposed), we're going to need to engage with those in position to influence stuff.

That's it. It's Friday.

Do stuff.

I love the idea of Resistance Friday and shall adopt it! Some friends are doing a Daily Thing, and it's just too much -- I can't keep that pace going, and then I feel like a terrible person, which isn't the key to continued resistance at all.

AlexFromBoston: I love this! It's so easy to feel disconnected from politics, but taking this kind of direct action is empowering. You’re right, if we want change, we need to make our voices heard, even if it's outside our immediate circle.

PoliticalJoe: Bold move! It's easy to get caught up in just talking about change, but actually doing something is where real progress starts. This reminds me to not sit back and wait for others to take action.
