That gives me a breather but isn't so long that I miss out on anything horribly pressing or critical. <br /><br />I wish there was more obvious work that we could do to avert the harm, but it feels like an acid is etching away at our country, more than ever.

Even for those who want to take a break from calling/faxing, there's still lots of work to be done. Donations to PR. Voter registration. Local elections are coming up and voter registration deadlines are coming along with them.<br /><br />I do something every week, even though I never want to. It's a habit. If I let them wear me down that means I've let them wear down everyone who is like me. <br /><br />It is true that the news is overwhelming. I don't need to keep up with the news in order to act because there are groups that will do it for me and digest it into actions I can take.
