Calling or emailing may not change their actions, but you became part of the record.

Calling seems too personal.

If you go to her website there should be a "contact" link.

You can also drop an "old school" letter in the mail...it will take longer.

Our reps are Dems, but we want to be part of the record.

exactly. And it doesn't take much effort. I'm kind of embarrassed that I haven't done it yet, but first thing tomorrow morning I will.

I do not have one dem senator or representative. State wise I have zero dems to call. This is new for us and it is a nightmare.

It's only been a recording, but giving my pov anyway.

Time and breath...

which one would you call?

zinke
daines
the two magats that are the other two US House and Senate reps.

They will hang up, if they even answer. These guys are not interested in anyone but themselves and their wealthy buddies and they do not want to hear anything we have to say. Nowadays, complaining could put a target on your back.

That is one way to get a hold of them. I am doing that.

...whether Dem or not. They need to hear from us, individually and as part of groups like ACLU, AARP.

I am using email but one day I will work up to the telephone. based on stuff I've read here and reddit I believe that a coordinator decides which staffer gets to tabulate responses and bring the totals to the Congress person.

We might produce the proverbial butterfly effect (politically)and make a difference or not but we won't know unless we try. Email and phone is inexpensive these days. Congress people are the only one we get to vote for now. Maybe the input to nudge them and see reason.

(Off soapbox now)

Ashley Moody and Rick Scott, Senators, and Rep. Greg Steube, all slimy red MAGAts.

(Feculent--foul, with impurities, fecal. Dystopian times call for enlarging vocabulary to express disgust. You're welcome.)

I’m sure Ted Cruz will get right on my suggestions.

Besides confirmations I don’t even now what is on the agenda.

but I think I'll email them. I have no reason to contact them, except to say thank-you for doing the job they were elected to do.

They are both Republicans and I will not change their minds, but I'm doing it anyway. The responses I get or don't get just make me madder, but I'm doing it anyway.

Per her suggestion on who to vote for, maybe I'll call Jill Stein's office. That should help.

I've called before and post on their FB pg's every so often and it is useless.
