Just called my senators' numbers and left messages


Couldn't actually get through to either Bob Casey or Pat Toomey.


But I left a message saying that I want them to allow witnesses and documents in the Trump Removal Trial.


Do the same for your senators.


Make them feel the heat.

I've never gotten anything but voice mail for Scott at his.

I call the state offices until I get someone on the phone.

Have called before on other issues and have gotten asked about where I live.

I suppose S. Collins is getting a lot of calls. Any suggestions?
