Better yet - go to their offices. Get a crowd to go to their offices. I've had better luck calling the regional offices in the districts than the main office in DC.

That said, he is pretending none of this is going on, but I believe his staff is as concerned as the rest of us. Unfortunately it's going to take a lot of persistence, courage & scary situations to even begin to pull this back in. We're fcked if we don't #Courage #Resist

Oh - if they don't have townhalls. Have townhalls in your towns & districts without them. We did that to Dave Reichert in 2017. Put their picture up. Video it. Invite the press. Have a moderator. Make sure it's known they aren't showing up for constituents.

Any articles about how that was done in 2017?

Here's an article about one of the events. I went to the one in Plain, WA - it was packed. People organized it - advertised it & alot of people showed up. And Plain is tiny!!! I drove ~70mi to attend that one. https://www.thestranger.com/politics/2017/02/22/24884014/wheres-congressman-dave-reichert-his-constituents-cant-seem-to-find-him

PS: my district now has Kim Schrier (D) as our congresswoman. Reichert ran for Gov of WA this last election & lost. He lives in my community. He is an arrogant ass. I've actually gone to some of the Republican Women meetings in my community. It's illuminating. I go to observe.

Also - I'm boosting this antifascist film which is inspiring to me. I visited the Baltics in Sept '24 to show solidarity against Putin's aggression. Little did I know what we'd be facing today. I'm thinking of organizing an Antifascist Book Club (or Media Club) in my town.

I've been in touch w/Newhouse's office. I'll call on Monday.

veracitas.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Doesn't Angus already vote with the Dems?
Can you give some more info about the others on the list?

Also, Newhouse voted to impeach Trump the 2nd time. Two of our GOP reps in WA did. Jamie Herrera Butler, lost her seat. Newhouse squeaked through. He's a hardcore conservative, but might be reachable. I've talked to the office a couple of times. His staffer even called me back.

chriscat.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Newhouse (R) is the Rep for WA-4. Greg Pence is Mike Pence's brother. Yes, Angus caucuses w/the Dems.

We need thousands to contact them daily, put the pressure on them to uphold the constitution, democracy, our govt, our country!
