SHUT IT DOWN. DON'T GIVE AN INCH

To: Sen. Fetterman

From: A verified voter in Sligo, PA

February 5

We've been calling Senator Fetterman for days. We've left messages and emails letting him know what we expect of him, as his constituents. John Fetterman the time for action is NOW. On Wednesday, February 5th, Indivisible: Mayday, alongside Indivisible: Outcry will be showing up at your Pittsburgh office. We will be heard. You will hear us. We will fight for America, will you? Your silence has been deafening. These are our demands: Blanket Opposition: No Cooperation with Trump’s Power Grab It’s really that simple: there’s no excuse for Senate Democrats to be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues. Seriously, just vote “NO” each time. Every nominee, every vote. The legislative clerk will call your name on the Senate floor during roll call, and you respond by saying “NO.” You know how to do this. Block Unanimous Consent: Every Action Must Take the Maximum Time. Any senator can object to a unanimous consent request, forcing Republicans to take the slowest and most painful route to pass anything. Blocking UC forces roll-call votes, debates, and delays on even the most basic motions, eating up hours (or days) of floor time. It kills fast-track confirmations. Many of Trump’s judicial nominees sailed through last time because Democrats didn’t force votes on each one. This time? Make them work for it. Refuse to give an inch. Block every unanimous consent request and force the GOP to waste precious time on every single step of the process. Deny a Quorum! No Majority, No Business! Trump and the GOP are counting on Democrats to play by the old rules while they bulldoze democracy. But the real power of the Senate isn’t just in votes—it’s in procedural warfare. The more Democrats disrupt, obstruct, and delay, the less damage Republicans can do. This is about using every tool available to fight back, slow them down, and make governing so painful for Republicans that they can’t steamroll their agenda. We need Senate Democrats, like you, to step up and shut it all down.
