threats to Lutheran charities
If you happen to live in a Republican district in the following states, Elon Musk just gave you a superb talking point for a phone call to your representative: AZ, FL, IL, NC, NE, OH, OR, PA, SD, TX, WI.
See a screen shot of Musk & Mike Flynn trashing Lutheran nonprofits in those states as "illegal money laundering", and Musk saying that he will be stopping their government payments, here at a Lutheran blog.
Look up to see if any of those organizations operate in your district. (LSSI provides vital child welfare services in mine.) Call your rep to ask "Why is Elon Musk attacking [local Lutheran nonprofit]? He says he's stopping their payments - how are you going to prevent that? We need [whatever service they provide]!"
It just makes the phone call somewhat less uncomfortable when the thing that you're supporting is something that your Republican representative was probably supporting too, just a few days ago, until everything went crazypants.
