(BROOKLYN, NEW YORK):

"Ugh, I just don't get why they can't call me first for once."

Wanting to stay proactive, 24-year-old Christine Stallworth began using 5calls.org to contact her Representatives, demanding they vocally speak out against things like Steve Bannon's participation in National Security Council meetings and Betsy DeVos's appointment as Education Secretary. However, she also doesn't want to come off as too strong.

"It's just like, look, I want to see change, but I don't want them to think that I'm like, some stage 5 clinger or something."

Citing the time when she double texted her crush late at night, Stallworth noted that people "only want what they can't have" and that her mother always told her that no one wants to "buy the cow if the milk is already free."

"This is one thousand percent about seduction. Do I think Steve Bannon is a nazi? Of course I think Steve Bannon is a nazi. Literally anyone could see that Steve Bannon is a fucking nazi. But also, what if they like, tell all their friends how I'm all clingy or whatever?"
