Also possibly inform our own senators & representatives that we intend to vote Biden/Harris - period. Its asinine to think of changing at this point in time AND expecting everyone in the country to also change!!! Aint gonna happen!

Here's an idea: Write to your local newspaper, then forward that letter to your Congressional reps. Use, and re-use, the loving care you put into your message(s) as appropriate.
My wife and I wrote an LTE to the Albany Times Union (timesunion.com) as follows:
***Beginning of LTE***
Regarding your editorial of June 28th ("Editorial: If Biden can’t make a better case for his candidacy than he did Thursday, he must step aside"), we believe that the TU editorial board acted rashly to attack President Joe Biden for his unexpectedly poor performance during the debate.
The very next day, in Raleigh, North Carolina, Joe Biden performed ably and well, calling out Trump's lies ("a new record for the most lies told in a single debate"), and lack of character (“the morals of an alley cat"), and, indeed, speaking plainly about his own performance ("I don't debate as well as I used to").
Your editorial missed this news event completely.
We wish that you had looked as deeply into the realities of electoral history as Lawrence O'Donnell did in his MSNBC segment "We live in a country where most commentators declared the liar the debate winner."
Biden's rally in NC was a good start on a "resurrection campaign." We look forward to more news of that sort, and to excellent, fact-based reporting from the Times Union on the real choice in this election: Democracy under the Democrats, with a few brave Republicans joining them in governing wisely, or the loss of freedom under a Trump dictatorship.
The Philadelphia Inquirer called for Trump to resign (June 29, “To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race”).
Have you called for Trump to withdraw from the race?
***End of LTE***
A couple days later, they published that editorial from the Inquirer, and I emailed my thanks to the TU's managing editor.
Thank you and your wife So Much for doing that. It was a good idea to get extra mileage out of the carefully crafted letter. It takes time to write these. Sending them around as far as you can is a good idea.
