A few things.


1.  There's always some "bill in Congress" that won't pass that organizations seeking money can use to scare the gullible with on the telephone.

2. By the same token, if you live in an area that's on the political extreme, your Congressman or Senator sponsoring a bill that's also extreme is not a reason to believe that it'll pass, or even be particularly excited about it, should you either favor or oppose it.

3.  A paid telemarketer is not likely to have the slightest interest in the actual subject that they're calling on.  They'd probably call for the opposing side, if the money was there.

4.  If the telemarketer is inarticulate and botches your name, that ought to be the end of it.

5.  If an organization that is seeking to have you donate money is using a paid telemarketer, part of what you are donating for is probably telemarketing.

6.  If certain events keep happening, and certain solutions keep being proposed, responding that your rights are being trampled or about to be, isn't really an adequate response.  You have to have a real basis to your argument.

7.  There's really no reason to pay any attention to Marjorie Taylor Greene on anything, so we shouldn't.

All of these will make your life easier.
