So since I can’t call my elected Representative about this, I’m calling the other 434. That’s a lot of phone calls, even though they only take about a minute apiece. Did you know that 434 is evenly divisible by 62? It’s very interesting to take this cross-country journey and visit with heroes like Cori Bush and villains like Mo Brooks. I’ve left a lot of messages, talked to some very nice people (including a couple of Republican staffers who voiced their agreement!) as well as a couple of dicks. Here’s my script:
My name is Rik Schell, and I’m calling you from Asheville North Carolina, because I can’t call my own House Representative. (I am calling all the other 434 members.) Madison Cawthorn is an insurrectionist, a serial liar, an abuser, and a literal fascist. I would rather have no representation in the House than have him represent me. As a citizen of the 11th District of North Carolina, I humbly beg you to expel him from the legislature. He did win his election, but he doesn’t believe in democracy and encouraged the violent overthrow of our legitimately elected leaders. HE DIRECTED THE MOB AT YOU. He should have no place in government, and if you agree with him, neither should you.
