I have been calling Murkowski about SCOTUS

nominee Kavanaugh(among other senators both GOP and "iffy" Dems). Today when I called her, the 3rd time in a week, the local Anchorage phone mail box was full and the DC office had me waiting to speak with someone for over 5 min while I was forced to listen to "From the Halls of Montezuma..." on a loop. This is good news. People are calling. I am not from Alaska but have been calling anyway and this is the first time the mailbox was full.
This means That people ARE calling. Please call too. RESISTANCE WORKS!
DC office (202)224-6665

natives more than women but I can't fake being a native very well so I went with the Abortion issue since I am a woman. I did have an Anchorage address, just in case I was asked. I get all of the addresses from Zillow:Homes for Sale. It works and it takes 3 min to Google it and get a legit address and zip. I wish I could take credit for the idea but someone gave it to me over a year ago at an Impeach Trump rally. I tell them that I am a teacher which is true, I WAS a teacher but now disabled/sick, and that my fellow teachers have been discussing this issue at school lunch this week and I represent them (power in numbers). It works well. So does when I tell them I am a nurse and the fellow nurses and medical workers at my care facility aren't happy with Kavanaugh as far as women's health goes and overturning the ACA and pre-existing conditions.

I called both senators...Collins (Bangor) yesterday and spoke with a nice staffer (I have addresses to use from each state so I am a constituent if I need to be if they ask). Today I called Murkowski in Anchorage, I will correct my post. I had an Anchorage address all ready but wasn't even able to use it. Yeah!
