   Sent a email letter to each Senator (and have called multiple times). Republican senator Blunt’s form allows only up to a 2,000 character comment. Democratic senator McCaskill’s didn’t have any character limit.

   Whatever that may mean-ha ha!

   And I know all my efforts don’t mean squat. Just another sucker as described by P.T.B.

   The Senate will not save us from DeVos or her policies.

   They will not block DeVos. No way. Not a chance. They will give her some aggressive questions (maybe) and will then confirm her.

   What a chamber of horrors of contributions.

   Here are some things that stuck out: she contributed $26,000 to four of the members of the committee who will vote on her nomination (Richard Burr $5,400, Bill Cassidy $7,800, Lisa Murkowski $5,400, Tim Scott $7,400). If ethics existed, they would recuse themselves. We should all take note of the super softball questions (gushing praise) she will get from them. I’m sure she’ll get what she paid for.

   She also contributed $2,600 to Mitch McConnell. In 2012 she gave $5,000 to Mitt Romney. For the 2016 presidential campaign she gave $2,600 to Bobby Jindal and then $2,700 to Marco Rubio (plus $5,400 toward his Senate campaign).

   Still have to go through see which members of the Senate and House appropriations committee members plus which House Education Committee members she has time-shares with.

   In the entire history of our Republic, only about nine(9) people have been declined by the Senate, to serve in a cabinet level position. Ms. DeVos is going to be confirmed. Deal with it.
