My senator is Ted Cruz. Do you really think any number of phone calls is going to change anything he says or does?

💯 and call the local regional offices which usually have lower call volume than the DC numbers.

mightybattlecat.bsky.social•108 days ago

Also it takes like five minutes to call both senators. We can devote the rest of our days to other things.

At least for myself there was also a tiny bit of catharsis in giving Susan Collins an earful about how she’s betraying her constituents

saraheme.bsky.social•107 days ago

Oh yeah I leave her office a lot of voicemails.

Being obstructionist and making his job harder is part of the work.

This. Cornyn's line has been busy all day.

ptros.bsky.social•107 days ago

Cornyn's voicemail greetings on both his local and DC lines are SO bad. They crackle like ham radio transmissions during solar flares, and I'm convinced it's to dissuade people from leaving messages

Try calling in the early morning or later at night. Had a hard time getting through to Booker yesterday afternoon, but it was fine this morning at 6:30. I think it's volume.

Make the 20 year old interns there confront their role in welcoming in American fascism.

This in particular - most of them will go into government or politics, and it may turn out to have been very important that regular citizens told them they absolutely do not want the Cruz/Trump/MAGA/Musk agenda.

heroic-robb.bsky.social•107 days ago

I have a Republican senator as well. I will consider calling.

Thank you. You got to still call.

jaypay.bsky.social•107 days ago

From a commenter on another post. *My rep is MAGA and I regularly contact him along the lines of “don’t let the executive take your power, what are you, weak?”

Maybe triggering the machismo will do what compassion and morals won’t*

geekgirllyssa.bsky.social•107 days ago

I literally did this. 😂 I told our new Rep that he loses his ability to use his Constitutional powers if he cedes that power to the executive branch. (previous one was a lame duck and wouldn't listen to us anyways because he was on his way out last election). And I used the Bible to shame him.

geekgirllyssa.bsky.social•107 days ago

Am I Christian? No. But they don't need to know that. 😂👍 Perception is reality to them.

jimismash.bsky.social•108 days ago

I couldn't get through at the Hart main number, so I called his office's DC number.

igasu.bsky.social•107 days ago

I also got a wonder if this general feeling of apathy is so wrought in places like Texas that no one calls because they think nothing can get done. But if more people just spoke up and voice their opinions more good, even if slow, would happen.

dpoore.bsky.social•107 days ago

Gotta try

geekgirllyssa.bsky.social•107 days ago

Reminder that even if YOU don't believe the Bible, they *supposedly* do. Quote it at them. Shame them using their own tactics. Appeal to their greed. Remind them that by ceding power to the executive branch, they make it so that THEY lose THEIR power. SHAME THEM ALL!

happyhappy-joyjoy.bsky.social•107 days ago

Yep - they tend to get VERY nervous when inundated with phone calls from angry people.

christinenj.bsky.social•107 days ago

My husband, the most laid-back guy ever, actually raised his voice at the person answering phones in Chris Smith's office that kept interrupting him. He's called 3 times in 4 days. He's never made calls before.

rosalyneves.bsky.social•107 days ago

This is how I feel when I call Mike Lee's office
