leupagus asked: Heyo--I saw your tags on that political thing and YOU ARE NOT A TRAINWRECK FOR NOT REMEMBERING YOUR SENATORS' NAMES. It is totally fine if your brain doesn't cooperate with that shit; you're not doing anything wrong. But! If you have a cellphone, what I'd recommend is putting down your reps' name/numbers under like, "POLITICIAN: SENATOR" for their last name and then their full name under the "first name" line--that way if you can't remember their names, you can just look up "Senator/Congressman"

and you don’t have to worry about remembering their specific names. But thank you SO MUCH for deciding to call today; it means a lot and you are a mensch.

GOOD SOLID ADVICE.  I’ve done this since you sent this message and now that I’m procrastinating my thesis by going through my inbox, I AM SHARING THIS GOOD ADVICE WITH THE WORLD.
