I am grateful for Scientific American; it's a great publication...When I went to Maui a few weeks ago, I wanted either the New Yorker or the Atlantic, but couldn't find either at any airports, so I bought the Feb. issue of SA. It was wonderful. I am thinking about subscribing...

That's odd; it went through in FB. Anyway; Heinrich and Lujan's joint statement is public record.

I am grateful that both NM senators will vote no on the CR ...hey put out a joint statement. I called Sen Heinrich on this when he was still undecided. I'm glad both of them have the courage to stand up to this ugliness: www.heinrich.senate.gov/.../heinrich....

I called Sen. Senator Martin Heinrich in DC to request that he not work with the other party on the debt ceiling or anything else for the time being; the only leverage we have right now is to make everything difficult and painful for them -- and make them own the destruction we're seeing.

Memes are warning that we should never assume it couldn’t happen to us. But it already is happening to us. You are me and I am you. No difference. We’re all animals on this planet. What affects one affects us all.

#4 The reps/sens can use your email verbatim and read them into the gov't record.

I hadn't heard this before, but will definitely keep it in mind. It's good advice and I trust its source.

#3 are freaking out over social security, are scared for a transgender child, or whatever, and you want to have your voice heard in that way, email...

#2They're especially powerful if they focus on personal stories about how gov't actions are affecting you. Include your contact information and so forth.
So if you're personally impacted by gov't cuts, have a family member who is a fed employee ...
