44 is 169 short of what it should be.

That brings the total to 44 Democratic members, or just over 20% of the caucus. Again, I haven't checked individual representatives' web pages or anything at all on Facebook, and I know not everyone in Congress is active on Twitter, so I'm certain I'm missing some.

My rep isn’t (yet🤞) on this list, but I did call her today and spoke with a staffer about it. I used your script and shared all three versions with friends—thank you!!

My Rep is not on the list, but I just called his office this morning. Will call again if he doesn’t show up on the list soon.

Fuck great post

skyblu.bsky.social•102 days ago

Will have to give mine a call of thanks. I'm not surprised, she's usually pretty good, but her staff would probably like to get a positive message every now and then

My wonderful rep, Don Beyer, is on this list AND I still called his office today to let him know I expect his continued, outspoken support for Rep McBride and all trans people

laurhob.bsky.social•102 days ago

I just sent an email and will call tomorrow. My rep is on the congressional equality caucus so I’m especially steamed that she hasn’t put out a statement yet.

Just got off the phone with mine Rep. If freaking Fetterman has expressed support no one else has any excuse.

threnody.bsky.social•102 days ago

if your rep isn’t on this list, they need to hear about it. tap into this thread. make a call.

if you don’t think they should listen to bigots & strategists who just lost them what should have been a slam dunk election, call & tell them to speak up now.

voters like when they stand for something!

threnody.bsky.social•102 days ago

also, it’s the right thing to do. but they may not care about that.

and if your republican or you’re unrepresented in DC, PR, guam, &c.? there are call scripts in the thread above for you, too. ⬆️⬆️

Thanks, I don’t see my rep on here. Gonna have to fix that.

What Val Hoyle from OR-04 has said. Notably, while she has welcomed McBride to Congress, she seems to say that anything further “isn’t her business.” I will be contacting her shortly to be more explicit in her support.

Thank you!

threnody.bsky.social•102 days ago

wow. that’s some mealymouthed gibberish right there. jfc val

lionthroat.bsky.social•102 days ago

right?? so wishy-washy. Just wrote her & will stay on her, cause this bland allyship ain’t good enough.
