Blanche's confirmation hearing is 10 days away. Lawyer Oyer readers are making their voices heard. If you haven't yet, you'll find some inspiration here.
June 29, after listening to Liz Oyer, I wrote 27 Republican & Independent Senators and 5 Republican Representatives, urging them to reject Todd Blanche, bringing my total of 263 days writing/calling over 3530 messages to officials reminding them of Trump's atrocities and the unacceptability of his other appointees, and the horrible damning affect on OUR "US Democracy" since February 14, 2025. I keep hoping some good will come out of these efforts!
Sent to Senator Ron Johnson on June 27. Thanks for your tireless work on behalf of all Americans.
Dear Senator Johnson, Please read this article that catalogs how acting AG Todd Blanche has violated federal prison rules when it comes to convicted child sex trafficker ghislain maxwell. I am sure this does not align with your midwestern values. Vote no at his confirmation.
Husted’s response doesn’t deserve the letterhead he signed. What a disgrace for Ohioans whom must vote his ass out along with all his republican wussies. They fear a felon and their own supporters. I served 30 years in the USAF and only feared disgracing myself, my family, my wing/squadron/flight and my Constitution. These wussies own their disgrace and should all emigrate, take their dear furher with them, to Russia where they could live out their autocratic dreams and let the Ukrainians sort them out. I’ve never been more embarrassed for the United States 🇺🇸.
Regarding Sen. Jon Husted from Ohio. I received the same letter from him. I write him at least 4-5 times a week on many topics. He rarely responds. I have never spoken to anyone of his staff other than an answering machine. He accepted money from Les Wexner, an intimate friend if Epstein. This was after information on Epstein had been available to the public. I will be voting for Sherrod Brown in November.
Today, I am calling sending this to 29 Senators (mostly Republican) and 5 Republican Representatives.
Yesterday, our 250 anniversary, was the WORST 4th of July, in my 74 years, considering the horrendous assaults on the very values that our Declaration of Independence, espoused! I pray that YOU and your colleagues, will make the next July 4th, considerably better by displaying personal character, determination, morality, and integrity that will honor our founders and protect “WE the People” as well as our constitution in EVERY vote you cast! YOU MUST serve justice to Trump and those who let fear of Trump guide their conscious! PLEASE be among the courageous who can see the irreparable harm acting AG Todd Blanche, Trump, and his blatantly corrupt administration have wrought on our former BEACON & CHAMPEON of Democracy to the world.
The article below, catalogs, acting AG Todd Blanche’s violations of federal prison rules holding convicted child sex trafficker Ghislain Maxwell, accountable. The children and women whose lives he, Trump, and others, have horribly impacted, deserve that JUSTICE be SERVED and closure afforded them. Instead, Members of Congress are protecting the perpetrators!
Do these actions ALIGN with your Values? Vote no at Blanche’s confirmation.
STOP the COMPLICITY! REASSERT and fulfill your OATH to PROTECT the CONSTITUTION and PEOPLE of the US!
Liz, your courage and your generosity in sharing all your knowledge about how government functions are an inspiration to me. I'm not a flaming activist, but you've inspired me. I wrote my 2 Washington State senators (Democrats) to let them know how I felt (short but to the point).
Be well, we need people like you in our present, and in our future.
Using 5 Calls App makes it easy to contact your own Reps. Once you have your unique message, COPY-PASTE works well!
The 5 Calls App. makes it easy to find issues you care about and the facts around those issues. That’s how I start and end each day’s political advocacy sessions. I see the issues that I want to address. I write a message using examples to help, but make it my own. I make sure that the message is less than 1500 CHARACTERS including spaces. (Check in Word Document by highlighting the text, going to review and Click on Word Count then find Character count with spaces. Often the messages are limited to 1500 characters and spaces. A few require shorter messages so I put the most important info first!) I end the session with taking a screenshot of my results page and write an updated message-
(Today’s message, “Day 264 days calling 3 + sending over 3565 emails & postcards since February 14, 2025!”)
Google contact information for each senator and representative.
Then, in your Internet Browser, bookmark each of the senators and representatives in a folder called politics. That makes it much easier to go through and Copy & Paste messages to each.
It’s a lot of work, but it’s something that I can do from my home! I want to do something to help our country in this time of crisis! I am determined that since I can thank my grandmother’s generation for securing my right to vote, I will not let my granddaughters and their daughters down by doing nothing while their voting rights were stolen!
I love my country, but I hate what Trump and his followers are doing to it! The reflecting pool and destroyed wing of the White House are only 2 examples that sum up much of Trump’s destruction.
NOTE: I found that most representatives won’t let you even write a message unless you’re from their district, but the following senators and representatives are willing to listen to others!!
The first three are my Democratic representatives. The next 2 are Senators I want to encourage and thank! Most of the rest are Republicans.

The more who write, the more they will realize that "WE the PEOPLE" care and are watching! Please help! Even 1 or 2 a day or 5 a week will add up! THANKS!
I wrote (in 14 pt font!) that, for all the reasons set forth in Ms. Oyer's letter, please do not vote yes on Blanche. I sent it to Grassley and Durbin.
I wonder if it’s worth the effort of writing out a reasoned argument. I’ve heard that staffers just take a quick glance and enter the submissions in a “yay or nay” tally. If we make it simple, more people might weigh in.
Considering? No, I am fully on board. Just wondering if there was more consideration for a mailed contact vs an email or call. I appreciate you very much for your advocacy.
My 2¢: Send an email and a letter. You want to make sure that your message arrives ASAP. Your physical letter may not be read in time. Physical mail goes to a sorting facility first. After the anthrax letter attack, it took much longer to be processed because of safety precautions.
The term 'courtesan' from yesteryear, when competing aristocrats elbowed each other out of the way for favor from the king, has moved from the abstract to real life in America. Todd Blanche is a well-trained asskissing seal, trading integrity for power.
I wrote as below to Senator Hawley today. I am not writing Schmitt because he doesn't care on any level.
"Dear Senator Hawley,
I am writing today in advance of the upcoming hearing and votes on the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General to ask that you do NOT vote to confirm him.
His refusal to release the entirety of the Epstein files in defiance of the law, along with his refusal to commit in writing to abandon permanently any plans for the “Slush Fund” to compensate the January 6 convicted criminals demonstrates clearly his lack of respect for the rule of law.
In addition, the inane “settlement” he gave the President by agreeing to immunize him and his family and associates against tax audits is a glaring offense to equal justice or any kind of impartiality.
Please act to require the President to nominate someone more responsible and less willing to ignore the law."
So Jon Hosta is saying all Trump's nominee's we approved bipartisan. That's a lie. He should go back and count how many Republicans and Democrats voted to approve Trump's administration. Republicans rule the house and the senent, that's how the administration was elected. Not bipartisan with the Democrats.
Reading the responses from these feckless sellouts of Senators, I ask myself what good it does to send these letters. Their minds are made up to confirm him.
Possibly. But the more folks push on this issue, the less stable the ground they stand on, and it can badly backfire on them in November, if they are up for re-election. So sharing letters can be helpful too.

Thank you for taking action!
Thx Liz for all that you do! I’ve sent emails to all reps! 🇺🇸💙

Your vote in the 26, 28, and 30 elections should be a simple point the staff notes.
When you say "letters", do you mean mailed letters and not emails?
Either works - thanks for considering!

I send e mails or post cards.
The term 'courtesan' from yesteryear, when competing aristocrats elbowed each other out of the way for favor from the king, has moved from the abstract to real life in America. Todd Blanche is a well-trained asskissing seal, trading integrity for power.

Eight gets you five that the fix is probably in.

I sent e-letters to my senators: Peters and Slotkin.
To you, Susan Kenney: I've only got two hands and one voice. Good Job.
