SCDP Takes on Marsha Blackburn

From a Sumner County Democratic Party email:

Time to call Marsha

Marsha Blackburn is smearing a decorated veteran of our armed forces to advance the GOP's conspiracy theories. This is embarrassing for Tennessee and not at all how we want to be represented.

Let's call her offices and demand that she issue a full, public apology to him. You can just say something like, "I'm calling to say Ms. Blackburn needs to issue a full public apology to Lt. Col. Vindman for smearing his good name on Twitter." Here are the phone numbers you need:

Washington DC: (202) 224-3344
Nashville: (629) 800-6600
