Related: About this forumShould I call the Dem reps who are not supporting Biden?
I know how to call members of the House and Senate and the staff thinks I am a constituent and will listen to my input. I don't want to call anyone who is misquoted by the media, only members who have been outspoken for the record and from a few reputable sources.
These are the names I have so far but am not 100% sure...
House Dems: Moulton (MA), Sherrill (NJ), Nadler (NY), Tacano (CA), Morelle (NY), Smith (WA), Schiff (CA)
Senate Dems: Murray (WA), Brown (OH), Tester (MT), Bennett (CO)
I usually only call GOP reps to complain about an issue, things have changed.

(52,241 posts)Do you have any idea who wants re-election? I don't think that is the issue, though. It is about sticking with our declared candidate. It is about being a Dem 100%, no excuses.

(52,241 posts)More effective that writing a letter. I got the idea of using Zillow at an anti-tRump protest as a way to get zip codes and area codes for a particular state/district. It's super fast and easy and when they hear a real person it has an impact. Sometimes I get upset (like when the ACA was about to be killed) and emotional bit I think that makes it more personal.
My niece was on the staff of my Dem congressman and she told me that they DO keep track of the calls (like you said).

(52,241 posts)I want to be taken seriously and name calling isn't cool. I plan on saying the same thing I usually do, that "I am a Dem and so are my friends and family and my teacher coworkers and we are all appalled at this lack of 100% support for our Dem candidate Biden, who is staying in the race." It's true, except the teaching part. I was a teacher and I know that people still have a little respect for teachers (due to the Karens at PTA meetings).

(52,241 posts)I couldn't believe it. She is on the top of my list.
I just saw her standing next to Schumer on Lawrence's show and I wanted to ring her neck.
