So everyone with democrats for their senators is calling them over and over and leaving messages saying to please pick Van Hollen as the new leader in the Senate.
I'm in NY so it was a little awkward leaving that message on Sen. Shumer's voice mail, but I was nice about it talked about how "everyone needs a break" and "isn't it nice to rest just a little and calm down"
Who knows it may work.
... please ... I don't know how to sell this to you but ... please ... just. Just don't.
You should call your senators if you have any. Clog up their voice mail server.

The switch board lady will ask for your senator's name. She's a little grouchy.
Did you know that when they vote for the senate majority leader it's a secret vote?
So I also called my other senator, Kirsten Gillibrand to remind her that I know that SHE knows that she could just not vote for Chuck and nobody would even know.
It would be awkward to stand up against him publicly, them both being from NY.
But, when it's just her and that ballot alone? She could do the right thing.
Hope the AI or office staff who has to scan the message finds my missives amusing.
I think a public vote might be better for this kind of thing. Just wait till we try to get them all on the record on who Chuck is still sitting there in the big chair and everyone says "wasn't me! wasn't me!"
ugh.
Be annoying.
I know ya'll know how. Fly my pretties! Fly!
It's not too early to call. These hours are the best time. They have just opened the boards.

At least you have Democrats to call. Here I can call Batboy or Moody. Nether of which could care less about anyone other than diaper Don.
