Do something!

Posted byTime Traveler of LifePosted inUncategorized

What I want is to hear that you actually did SOMETHING!

I receive dozens of solicitations from the DNC every day! And they are from every state, needing just $1, $7, $15 or more to help you DO YOUR JOB!

A question! Why can’t you do your job for your salary, which provides you with much better benefits than I get on Medicare?

Want to know the best part of all the emails that fill my email folder? None of them allows me to comment or return comments. Why don’t you want my opinion? Just my hard-earned $$$$$!

Are you afraid of what I would say, or do you not give a damn about my situation or opinion?

I am a writer, and I wonder why you employ the most idiotic themes for your solicitations? Some of them are so poorly written that you should be ashamed.

It appears you cannot stand up to the pressure not to vote for bills you know are wrong on so many levels for your constituents, yet you give in and vote, knowing what the results will be.

I do not expect you to win every time, but I do expect you to FIGHT! LOUD LONG AND HARD!

Here is an example of just two of the solicitations:

Republicans are finally admitting what we’ve known for months: their Senate majority is vulnerable. Growing controversies and deepening divisions with Donald Trump are exposing real cracks in their hold on power.

Another one: 

$7 so Democrats can prevent more cruelty and authoritarianism from the Trump administration. Will you chip in $7 to the DNC today to help take back control of Congress?

Those aren’t the worst of them. I love the ones that say: “Brenda, you are one of the most valuable members, and we are counting on you!

Excuse me! You don’t know me and care even less about me!

I love the one about not reaching your goal. Are you required to meet that goal every month? Week?” What happens if you can’t meet it? Why even mention it? Tell me what you did this week and this month, and maybe you will garner support more willingly.

Just asking for money without showing what you are working on and what you’re accomplishing isn’t a good start!

Here is my solicitation: I have published over 24 books, from Children’s, Sci/fi, Murder Mystery, to Young Adult! They are available in eBook and Paperback on the following sites: Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Everand, Smashwords, Tolino OverDrive, bibliotheca, Baker & Taylor, BorrowBox, Hoopla, Vivlio, Palace Marketplace, Odilo, Gardners, and Amazon.

On my website www.brendacolbathbooks.com and on Books.by/brendacolbath Check them out, and by the way, you can comment.

Thanks for listening to my rant today! Let’s talk again…

Biography Creating worlds, characters, and wielding power like a madwoman, making my characters happy, sad, angry, and some of them with no redeeming qualities. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I sometimes laugh out loud when I am writing a scene, and I have been known to cry when one of my favorites has to die. I am a left-handed Gemini, what do you expect? Reading bedtime stories to my two children until they fell asleep or until they just told me to go away, was fun. Making up wild stories for my grandchild, and creating Halloween costumes from Cowboys to a Dragon, was another favorite thing to do. I missed that so much when they were grown, that I started writing. My yearly newsletters frequently were drafted third-person by my Love Birds, Miranda our motorhome, and by Sir Fit the White Knight, our faithful Honda. Throughout the years, some of my creative talents centered around writing letters of complaint expressing my displeasure with services or products. One crucial, at least to my Son, was a note to our local school bus driver petitioning her to allow him back on the bus. He was kicked off for making an obscene gesture at his buddy. I reminded her that it was not directed at her, and that “obscenity can be in the eye of the beholder,” kids use that gesture as a greeting. He rode the bus until he graduated. I loved driving my English teacher crazy. Leaving a “continued next week” at the end of my five handwritten pages required each week. He was one of many people that suggested I “do something about my writing.” I graduated from the School of Hard Knocks at the top of my class. After 30 years, in the trenches as a Real Estate Professional, I have found that truth is stranger than fiction. My books are filled with characters I met in that profession. Their names were changed to protect the guilty. Others were from people we met traveling around the country in Miranda, our Motorhome. I am married nearly 60 years to the love of my life, Shirl, and partner-produced two exceptionally talented children, and one grandchild who is our pride and joy.
