What the fuck.
Alright, I’m a new citizen to the #US, so I ain’t the most familiar with the options.
What can I do to address the inexcusable and illegal acts my federal government took last night towards #Venezuela and #Maduro?
1. Call my representatives. Figuring that out now. (This guide is helpful to someone like me with social anxiety, I like the tips for how to format what to say: https://www.ucop.edu/federal-governmental-relations/_files/Advocacy/Federal-Research/guide_to_calling_your_legislators.pdf)
2. ????
What are my options?

JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR:
GOING TO THE POST OFFICE TO PERSONALLY HAVE YOUR VOTE POSTMARKED DOES NOT SOLVE VOTER SUPPRESSION
THIS IS A POLL TAX.
what of the cost to people who don’t have a post office nearby?
what of the cost to people who don’t have easy transportation to a post office?
what of disabled people who cannot go personally to get that postmark?
because the next step is to say exactly that: your vote won’t count if somebody else gets the postmark for you.

I can't believe the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize would do this!
