- Calls to Action and Statements of Action
This is a typical Hakeem Jeffries skeet/tweet/whatever:
Republicans promised to lower the high cost of living on day one. A year later, costs have gone up and life is more expensive. You deserve better.

Here’s another one and another one — I’m not cherry picking.
It’s missing something that Marketing 101 would tell you is necessary if you’re going to get anything accomplished with your message: a call to action (CTA). What am I supposed to do with the information that Jeffries shared? Or, what action is he taking based on this truth he just revealed?"
Chuck does it, too:
Be careful, Chuck might say it three times! I guess he’ll reserve action for student protests at Columbia.
Anyway, here are some other Democrats who include an action in their skeets/tweets/etc:
My two bipartisan bills would address the biggest challenges Illinois farmers tell me they're facing today.

Wondering why your utility bills are getting so expensive? AI could be a big reason why. AI data centers cost a ton to upkeep, and big tech companies are passing on those costs to local communities. I'm pressing for answers.

I’m not expecting a lot here, just some indication that an action will be taken based on the information given. Or a call for me to do something works, too. Give me money works, too, even though Democrats tend to go to this one CTA far too often:
I think part of Jeffries/Schumer unease with action is that they’re afraid of failing. Underwood’s bill will probably fail. Warren might or might not get answers. McBride might get pushback from donors who are sick of the constant begging. Welp, sorry guys, action is harder than nothing.
