00:46Please write to your two U.S. senators, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz.

00:52And I know, but let me tell you, I hear frequently from folks, they don't care.

01:03They're not, and they might not. But that doesn't mean we should be silent.

01:08That doesn't mean we should not hold them accountable.

01:22Save Social Security. I need an increase.

01:26I reinstate the subsidies to help lower my utility costs.

01:31These are all things we did last Congress that they have eliminated in terms of trying to help people.

01:40So we need you to use your voice also with the people in the Senate who represent you.
