Katie,

We need you back in government. Please consider running for Congress again. There is no one left who has your clear vision and the ability to get to the heart of matters. Your voice must be heard again. Your whiteboard is your superpower. We NEED YOU!

I am a Third Generation San Franciscan but could no longer afford, in my retirement, to live there. I now leave in a small town in Oregon. I contact my 2 Senators and Rep all the time and I always get a response from their office. I think Obama and Biden and their AG's are responsible for where we are, in that Obama and his AG could have stopped Trump in and Biden and his AG could have stopped Trump in 2024, in fact, Garland should have arrested him on January 6th, no later than Jan 7th or the day he walked out of the WH a civilian. Disgusted. I am 81 and never thought I would see this day.

From all I have heard and read, Congress members (Representatives and Senators) pay a lot more attention to phone calls--from constituents--than they do letters, emails or online petitions. They're a lot more interested if they know you can vote for, or against, them! I just recently put their direct office line numbers on my telephone contact list. Makes it faster and easier to call. I've only started making calls recently, but find office staff are always pleasant and courteous. I make it a point to be likewise, and keep my call short and to the point. Hey, every little bit helps?

Sometimes a different office than DC has better service and a real person answers.

Katie -- What's your next move? You should run for Pres in 2028, might only become V-P. But you sure as _ell will give a lot of folks someone to support who does the work, understands the process, and can explain key issues to just about everyone who has not already made up their minds because, alas, they have nothing more to learn.

I feel like my opinion & voice here in this Red state goes unheard & only big donors matter anymore. My state has gone extreme right & women don’t seem to matter at all. Watching this extreme go on across the country has created nothing but a loss of hope & disappointment in my party also. We can’t stay the same, the right is dirty & they cheat & lie to their constituents and the country regularly! We must get down & play dirty back!! Call them out regularly!

Stop being nice & call them what they are!! Liars & cheaters & don’t care about anyone! Power is all they care about! Lying regularly to their constituents seems to work, they truly are a bunch of gullible idiots. No fact checking. Call them out!! Loud & clear!

Well... yeah. Except that i don't believe they care one bit what we think. They are not there to serve us, their so-called 'constituents.' They serve their donors. Those are their true constituents. Calling them out... why? What's the point of that? Keeps us riled up and exhausting our own resources... while they carry on.

I agree here, but they want us to give up. That’s the plan.

Chaos, exhaust, confuse, then hope we give up. The strategy is exactly that.

We can’t sit by while trump destroys Democracy & our country.

I’m praying some true Conservatives will wake up & Impeach the fascist liar.

Every exhausted mother of a toddler l/young child knows when they want something, they will whine and cry and beg and nag and “hate you” until you give in. This toddler in the WH has it down to a science. We should not have ever given in. If we (the Repubs and some voters) hadn’t, we would not be in this spot.

Why must I call to get my elected official to get them to do their job?!?

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

Your oath tells you exactly what job they should be doing right now!

I do not believe that your words to take action will make a difference. This is a passive responsive. The reality is the democrats in the government are unable to respond, to make a difference. I get responses that are boilerplate. I get asked for money. I get long messages of what I already know like I don’t know anything. This reality we are facing cannot be addressed through easy instructive emails and people are acting like ordinary measures will make it all ok. It won’t. Why didn’t you stay in congress in the House and recognize way before now that this was coming? That is the issue: and will be the issue going forward and then it will be too late and the long road of violence will result, and it may be a long time before there is any trust, let alone, hope. New leadership, new grassroots voices, new words, new community groups, that is needed and necessary. A transformed understanding of what a House representative and senator are to say and do is a first step. Perhaps you are the one to start such a movement. Enough already.

Katie absolutely saw a lot of this BS coming!! Where were you? She tried very hard to stay in Congress. She also ran for Dianne Feinstein's vacant Senate seat. Don't you know she'd have stayed in DC if it were really up to 'we the people' rather than the power elite?? She had no more say about their powermongering than we do.

Apparently you never saw Katie grill billionaire CEO Jamie Dimon. You’re clueless about Katie. She is THE most qualified for whatever political job she wants frankly.

She is PRECISELY what the Democrats need if we are to survive as a party…
