If you live in a blue city and state be sure to thank your reps!
We call and call to complain as we should but also remember that a "Thank you" goes a long way. I have called all 100 senators over 3x each and over 100 congressmen and I live in a blue city/state. The Dem reps are doing their best in hard times and yes, they could do more, but positive reinforcement and encouragement is very important and necessary in these partisan times. Please make a call to say "Thanks". You will feel good afterwards too.
