You can call any congressman or Senator that you want, but if you want to specifically talk to your personal state representatives, they will forward you to that message number! It takes two minutes

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

This is a blue opal pendant, set in sterling silver, with Mookaite Jasper accent beads. It has a little quatrefoil window in the back. I’m adding it to my shop later today.

Do you need to stare off into space discreetly during a boring meeting? Well, here’s the ring for you. It’s like looking into space from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Size 9.

Welp, this is why I should get out more. I was walking down the street beyond my normal radius and saw Mark Ryden had some big exhibit here that closed on December 20th. I didn’t even know this place was an art gallery. It was an evangelical church for a while.
