| 0:09.4 | If you have a question for us, please email us at Sisters-in-law at Politicon.com or tag us on social media using hashtag Sisters-in-Law. |
| 0:19.9 | But don't just type them. We love hearing your voice. |
| 0:24.1 | It's really important to us, which is why we want to hear them. So please use a voice memo |
| 0:30.6 | with one of your notes apps and we might play it on the show. We're going to use some of those |
| 0:36.4 | today. Before we get started, we are delighted |
| 0:39.3 | to share that we have some live shows coming up. We'll be in Denver, Colorado, tomorrow, |
| 0:45.0 | April 23rd at the Servantes Masterpiece Theater. Then we head over to Atlanta, Georgia for a show |

| 1:33.3 | Now, I really want to share what you have said with my friends, but I can't find transcripts |
| 1:37.7 | of your episodes. So I wonder, would you tell us all once again about the importance of calling |
| 1:43.0 | your representatives and senators? |
| 1:45.0 | No, really, seriously. |
| 1:46.9 | And how easy it is and important? |
