I’d like to note that “put pressure on your government” is at the top of the list. Even though we are all feeling frustrated and powerless, we need to try to use this channel of putting pressure on the government as much as possible. Call your reps, sign petitions, do whatever you can to make your opposition to intervention known. My aunt (who I talked about on the call) said, in regards to the Sunday talk shows, “A Democratic Strategist, whom I respect, states this as a revolutionary moment, seeing this issue as a confrontation between the American people and the rulers in Washington.”
Let’s keep pushing for change in every way that we can 🙂
