Done! ✅

rayme77.bsky.social•31 days ago

Republicans should hear from constituents but I fear in Missouri most love wife beaters and racists. Which is how you have Hawley to begin with. He’s so unqualified and dangerous, but they will install him anyway.

kd0715.bsky.social•31 days ago

True, but right is right and our voice is still ours

baddog64.bsky.social•30 days ago

Snakes vote for other snakes.

madams5000.bsky.social•31 days ago

I live in VA, I think I'll call him as a constituent since this is his home too. -_-

jesseufin.bsky.social•31 days ago

At least you guys have 2 competent senators in VA. I’m a Virginian living in MO, & god do I miss living in a blue state. Prob why Hawley refuses to live here 😂

jcschmo.bsky.social•31 days ago

If I call them, I'll never get to the reason for the call because I'll just scream for all of them to go fuck themselves repeatedly and hang up mad.

mundoh.bsky.social•31 days ago

Not going to work.

Hegseth is the quintessential 2025 Republican. They love him.

piperformissouri.bsky.social•31 days ago

We can still spend 3 minutes doing what’s right.

mundoh.bsky.social•31 days ago

The problem is, his supporters don’t see his behavior and addictions as a problem. Normal people will or should

kd0715.bsky.social•31 days ago

Then remind them he's simply not qualified

bleucheez.bsky.social•31 days ago

They’ll still confirm him. Even if 100% of the constituents said not to. They don’t have the backbone to defy Cheetolini.

coachmichelle.bsky.social•30 days ago

What if people focused first on the fact that HE IS NOT QUALIFIED for this job? Alcohol, women, and assault/ abuse don't matter to them. We can't make them grow consciences.

d3c3ntam3rican.bsky.social•31 days ago

202-224-6154

allcaps-22.bsky.social•31 days ago

I wish Dems would focus on the fact that he is not qualified for the job. Just based on his resume- he isn’t qualified. Forget the other stuff because the Rs don’t care. Focus on the glaring fact - Hegseth doesn’t have the qualifications for the job. He is an affirmative action hire.

lewgriff.bsky.social•30 days ago

I’ve been emailing their website. Pick a lane: morally despicable, morally and legally compromised, or just plain unqualified. Vote NO on Hegseth.

bryceenglin.bsky.social•31 days ago

You can also leave messages with their local Missouri district offices.

My only recommendation when talking to staff is be professional and courteous. Staffers are no different than us as people.

I have it found it also makes us who support Dems easier to talk to from both sides.

andyknudsen64.bsky.social•31 days ago

Knowing alcoholism, I can tell you that, if confirmed, Hegseth will likely sabotage his own position. My fear is how loose he is with controlling Trump's impulses in the interim to use the military inappropriately or threaten nuclear war, as his prior SOD's have claimed.

rickvandeven.bsky.social•31 days ago

Done and done

piperformissouri.bsky.social•31 days ago

Sorry! Wrong fat fingers!

Thanks from High Ridge for all you do.

jmegehrke.bsky.social•31 days ago

Just called. Lines must be lighting up. Had to leave a message.

thinshadeez.bsky.social•31 days ago

Just called Pete “ugh” Ricketts. 202-224-4224

nana1956.bsky.social•31 days ago

Just called him. Left message as they are “experiencing higher than normal call volume”

sherrilynn8.bsky.social•30 days ago

Called! Thanks for sharing!

bobbijean9.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’ve called and sent letters to Ted Cruz. I don’t think it will help, but at least I’ve voiced my concerns.

serusmom.bsky.social•31 days ago

Call all we want, it WILL NOT CHANGE THEIR DECISION TO CONFIRM HIM, because the king told them to, and POTUS elmo told them to or else...

brusqueball.bsky.social•30 days ago

It's naive to think they care about phone calls, petitions, protests, marches, or demonstrations. They care about money. They fall in line with their party.

The only way to make progress against Nazis is through force. You need to exercise your rights granted by the second amendment and be ready.

justcallmekhaleesi.bsky.social•31 days ago

Contacted!

hannajow.bsky.social•30 days ago

Thank you!!!

davidkogut.bsky.social•30 days ago

Respectfully, i don't think they care. Hawley just got re-elected. Schmitt isn't up til 2028. They don't care.

ninalottanumbers.bsky.social•30 days ago

please spread the word to call these 3 as well! https://bsky.app/profile/ninalottanumbers.bsky.social/post/3lgirzxirh22h

wanderabout.bsky.social•30 days ago

I left a VM for Hawley but was able to talk to someone in Schmitt's Saint Louis office.

rags10.bsky.social•30 days ago

Great idea Jess, that's how representative government is supposed to work. Unfortunately, constituents could call Hawley 1,000,000 times and it'll simply go to voice mail. He's a pretty corrupt POS.

hamiltonasseiro.bsky.social•31 days ago

Wasn't Hawley the same coward who pumped his fist to support the protesters on J6? Then was on security camera running quickly away from the invasion of the capitol building by those same violent Trump supporters?
Let's see what he does with ol Pete now. Another flip flop perhaps?

barak-har-elkin.bsky.social•30 days ago

Unfortunately, they will confirm him, he will fail at his job just like the many other incompetents the president's chosen will do, and this presidency will go down in history as the absolute worst.

sedwards.bsky.social•31 days ago

Thank you! As a retired Army officer--we need help. We need everybody to call and demand this grossly unqualified nominee be rejected. Please call, everybody. They need to know we see the outrageousness and won't stand for it. Call today, this morning, the vote is pending.

mariekeepfaithjb.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’ll call.
I’ve been calling my New York reps.

mariekeepfaithjb.bsky.social•31 days ago

The number is not in service.
I tried it three times

itstayyo.bsky.social•31 days ago

202-224-6154

mariekeepfaithjb.bsky.social•31 days ago

I called three times.
Continuous loop of “we are getting too many calls, please hold for staff”

then it rings and then that message again.

itstayyo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Well looks like it’s working then if they have too many calls lol

mariekeepfaithjb.bsky.social•31 days ago

And someone told me yesterday they make a record of every call even if they do not pick up the phone.

jessicadetherow.bsky.social•31 days ago

That number isn’t working so I just called my local Springfield office. Thank you for the encouragement!

jessicai917.bsky.social•31 days ago

And putting aside all the allegations: HE’S NOT QUALIFIED!!!!!!!

patrickj223.bsky.social•31 days ago

Not qualified

kimberlyhh.bsky.social•30 days ago

I did my part in Indiana by calling my 2 GOP senators.

princessdonut70.bsky.social•31 days ago

My Senators are Blackburn and Haggerty. They will NEVER go against Trump.

robinwaytogotiger.bsky.social•30 days ago

I forgot that some of our peeps in South Carolina need to call THIS guy:

Scott: 202-224-6121 (remember SPEED DIAL, people! We're going to hold their feet to the FIRE!)

daisyismissing.bsky.social•30 days ago

I can assure you that there is no point in calling this guy. He does not care. He barely has two brain cells to rub together. He toes the party line and will parrot whatever the republican party tells him to say.

robinwaytogotiger.bsky.social•30 days ago

For those of us in South Carolina who follow you, @piperformissouri.bsky.social, I just called Senator Lindsey Graham --yes, I hate to admit he's the Senator from my district, sigh. Here's the number. Put it on speed dial, everybody: 202-224-5972

kwalk2024.bsky.social•30 days ago

I have cruz & cornyn so I understand.

robinwaytogotiger.bsky.social•30 days ago

Oh, heavens! My sincerest condolences!

robbie347.bsky.social•30 days ago

Thanks, Robin.

joshzimmermusic.bsky.social•30 days ago

I wrote both of them. Schmitt was the only one who replied. His comment was Trump had the right to nominate whomever he pleases and that'll he will support them

crazyfingerz.bsky.social•30 days ago

They already confirmed the same guy on the Supreme Court.

beccxspeaks.bsky.social•30 days ago

They ignore calls. They don't care what people want. The trump agenda is all that matters.

adria88.bsky.social•30 days ago

Keep calling and / or sending e mails. They need to be held accountable. They need to be reminded they work for us.

desertdweller78.bsky.social•31 days ago

Everyone has a social media account. That might save on phone bills. Conference call?

johnrotten.bsky.social•31 days ago

Hawley and the other one would still vote for whoever Trump wants them to vote for

I'll be so missed, they don't answer

amazoning.bsky.social•31 days ago

Senate republicans have already said that they’ll just put the senate into recess so they can install their candidates regardless. I don’t want to be jaded here, but republicans aren’t going to go against trump knowing it’ll happen anyway.

jlchapman.bsky.social•31 days ago

Called my US Senator John Cornyn and told him to vote no; calling Ted Cruz now

Done!

samcanders.bsky.social•31 days ago

As always, Thom Tillis wasn’t nt trying to hear from someone who doesn’t agree with him. Ted Budd is next. It will be the same response but at least they know they don’t have blanket support from the people they’re supposed to represent.

garricka.bsky.social•30 days ago

Eric Schmitt’s response to me was that Trump had the “right” to appoint the position and that he supported the nomination due to his own support of the initiative to dismantle DE&I🙄 Keep calling them.

ninalottanumbers.bsky.social•30 days ago

perhaps switch to'I understand you supporting the president but installing an unqualified person who has bungled past leadership positions with veterans groups and has numerous sex&abuse scandals that can be held over his head is a threat to national security. anyone voting him in is complicit

rootedpioneer.bsky.social•31 days ago

Exactly! Call your senator(s) today.

kenjmiles.bsky.social•31 days ago

I can’t bring myself to even have a conversation with one of his lackeys answering the phone

keabc124.bsky.social•31 days ago

You’ve got a typo in your number.
The number is 202-224-6154

I called and left a message. There’s currently a high volume of calls. Please keep calling Missourians!!!!!

treatallwithlove.bsky.social•30 days ago

Well said! Let’s join in, people! We are worth it! We can do this, bc we are many. Let’s stick together and do this.

eoawild.bsky.social•31 days ago

It’s trump approved

socialworkresists.bsky.social•31 days ago

I called my senators yesterday and plan on calling again today.

themidge.bsky.social•31 days ago

If you get Hawley on the phone let him know we all saw him run like everyone else J6, so if he buddies up to those pardonees visiting the Capitol he's an even bigger bitch than I suspected.TIA

calmacmexmo.bsky.social•31 days ago

I have been writing them and they never respond. Only one that responds to me is my congress man Sam Graves and he dances aroung my subjuct matter. He's a SHEEP.

hippiewoman75.bsky.social•31 days ago

I read it but he got in so you can't believe nothing you read anywhere it's really not worth going on any place app whatever because lies or it disinformation

noblindtrust.bsky.social•30 days ago

I called the DC office of one of our Senators and spoke with a staff member as the voice mail was full; then sent the other Senator an email. I detailed in both the call and the email precisely the factors making Hegseth, Gabbard, and RFK Jr unfit for the positions. They can't pretend ignorance.

mindthecrows.bsky.social•31 days ago

And on top of that he's completely unqualified.

jkakert.bsky.social•31 days ago

He’s also a Confederate sympathizer, who believes he is going into a 2nd Civil War 🤡

mkdosay.bsky.social•31 days ago

Agree the assault stuff should be enough to disqualify but today’s republicans don’t care about such misdeeds. The democrats should be leaning on his lack of competencies needed for that role. Thats the only way to sway any of the republicans imo.

sensibletexan.bsky.social•31 days ago

No they do not.

it's unfortunate that you're making unfounded accusations about someone's personal life. credible allegations deserve a fair and thorough investigation, not hasty judgment.

kd0715.bsky.social•31 days ago

So, don't confirm until these credible accounts are throughly vetted

injusticeinmo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Honestly, wasting your time asking hawley or schmidt, for anything that goes against their orange king

grranny.bsky.social•31 days ago

True. So f ing sad!

dogsinapile.bsky.social•31 days ago

They want him to be approved. Rape allegations are good for fundraising. They'll play up the rape and discount the incompetence, even though that's where his weakness lies. Dems and media alike have been doing the same with Trump for a decade - letting him get away because he's easy campaign money.

tbtaylor.bsky.social•30 days ago

Reaching out to my senators for anything is a complete waste of time. I have on this issue and Boozman sends a form letter that takes his oath very seriously and Cotton never acknowledges anything at all. He is ridiculous!
They will never do the right thing.

adria88.bsky.social•30 days ago

Still keep sending e mails. Annoy them. I do it all the time to my KS senators. They are useless. Politely, I remind them of the issues, like they never heard it, and ask them to inform me about their paln of action.
The staff answers with platitudes. Still, I keep pestering them nicely.

slimmkc.bsky.social•30 days ago

I’m gonna call but do you really think they are listening?
At this point we need to do more than call our representatives.
They got away with their own insurrection, why can’t we?

huntervonwolf.bsky.social•31 days ago

They both don't care. None of our politicians care.

rickvandeven.bsky.social•31 days ago

They don't. They also hate being questioned by constituents. Give them a call. Be polite. Leave your opinion while you still can.

louisamorgan.bsky.social•31 days ago

My smart brother says focusing on Hegseth’s moral failings is not the point; focus on the fact he can be blackmailed because of those things, and that threatens our national security.

rayme77.bsky.social•31 days ago

Exactly he’s partisan and his dangerous background means he cannot be loyal to the US. He’s only appearing to be loyal to Trump, which isn’t the job at hand.

louisamorgan.bsky.social•31 days ago

and it's a HUGE job!

ninalottanumbers.bsky.social•30 days ago

exactly, speaking to R MOC's do NOT make it a partisan issue;'thanks for his service...BUT...' inexperienced, he failed&was removed by Vetrans groups, his alcohol issues, moral&behavioral failings that leave him wide open for blackmail/extortion and manipulation. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pete-hegseth-signed-nda-received-six-figure-payment-after-leaving-concerned-veterans-for-america/

resortstocursing.bsky.social•30 days ago

Hawleys staff is always nice for folks who are worried about that aspect.

cultofsignal.bsky.social•30 days ago

Even if he wasn't terrible in his personal life he has shown he is absolutely a failure at running organizations of any size.

He is only there to purge the military of Americans loyal to America.

mertjoy.bsky.social•30 days ago

I love your persistence.

chrissyone.bsky.social•31 days ago

Please do, but it won't matter. You can't shame the GOP into doing what's right, because the only "right" they see is pleasing Trump.

soblue2024.bsky.social•30 days ago

Called them both this morning. Also said to say no to Gabbard, Patel and Kennedy.

I got told in rude and no uncertain terms that my Senator was voting for all traitor T's nominees...

seth44downing.bsky.social•31 days ago

They may not have a mandate, but they also don’t have spines. Unfortunately I don’t believe any amount of phone calls will cause them to grow one either.

smmaruca.bsky.social•31 days ago

Hawley is a spineless little boot-licker. Run, Josh, run!! 😂😂

fleetingorganism.bsky.social•31 days ago

Okay, I called Bernie and Jon in Ohio, and I did okay. I quit making the calls during T1 because I kept coming unglued and screaming at rob Portman. But I'm on cymbalta now so.

"I'll quit drinking if you make me Secretary of Defence" is the most alcoholic thing ever said by a political figure.

ninalottanumbers.bsky.social•30 days ago

Right? 'Just put me in charge of millions of US citizens at home&abroad, in an extremely high profile, high stress filled job that requires being on call 24/7. Throw in constant criticism from World Leaders&International Human Rights and watch-dog orgs; I'll thrive baby!'

tam24.bsky.social•31 days ago

The correct number is 202-224-6154.

rickja.bsky.social•30 days ago

The number is disconnected- maybe email?

donplummer.bsky.social•31 days ago

My wife called Ohio's new MAGA "Senator," Bernie Moreno, asking him not to confirm any of Trump's nominees. The receptionist told her he was going to vote for all of them. I've never heard of office staff telling people how the rep would vote. They usually just thank the caller for their opinion.

ninalottanumbers.bsky.social•30 days ago

often if the MOC has an official stance they'll tell you. Still worth calling. It's painfully slow but you all might call specifically vs 'all of them are bad!" don't make it partisan - hegseth's unqualified/botched other leadership jobs and has moral failings etc

metastablemom.bsky.social•31 days ago

I think we should also focus on him never having managed a group larger than 100.

ninalottanumbers.bsky.social•30 days ago

and getting kicked out for financial mismanagement. 'it's not political or personal ..this particular man just isn't up to the job. It makes me question the judgement of anybody voting him in, I'll remember this next election cycle.'

75cavalier.bsky.social•31 days ago

If every Republican Senator got a call from every citizen in the state, each one would still ignore them all and do what Trump wants.
