Given what just happened in Georgia, I am respectfully asking all DU readers:

[PatrickforB]

Please call your US Senators daily on the urgent need for a new voting rights act.

If we all call them daily, write them, email them, and otherwise be very noisy, they might just take some action. Because this really is urgent. We can kiss this republic goodbye if this GA law, and the dozens of others Republican controlled state legislatures are cooking up, are allowed to stand.

We need to force them to make this happen.

I commit to all of you that I will be calling my two Senators every day on this matter. At each of their offices, locally and in DC.

Please, let us overload their switchboards with huge call volume.

[LakeArenal]

1. My Senators are on different planets.

Baldwin Yes
Ron Johnson Noooo.

[calimary]

25. It doesn't matter. Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

[Cracklin Charlie]

2. Hawley and Blunt?

I’ll have to think of someone else to call. But I am really fed up with the assault on voting rights. I hope some Republican knocks on my door for a vote next time around.

I’m gonna give them what for!

[calimary]

26. They STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

[lastlib]

42. Like you, I don't have any Senators--I have those two vermin.

I may try to call them and just harass them, for all the good it will do.

[calimary]

46. Destabilize the enemy. If they start hearing from an avalanche of angry callers pushing back,

it may not change their vote, but they won't get much sleep. And it may drive them to reach for the Maalox bottle every morning when they wake up. Might even make 'em think twice about staying in their jobs. Life's a lot more fun when you aren't under all that damn pressure all the time.

[electric_blue68]

50. Absolutely, yes! Sometimes some thing will tip the balance.

[niyad]

49. It makes one feel just a tiny bit better to tell these scum exactly what we think of them.

I look at it as sharpening my claws on the human scratching posts.

[Nexus2]

3. I got McConnell and Paul. [nt]

[Mr.Bill]

16. In that case, meet them in person.

Remember to bring a suitcase full of cash. Small unmarked bills are preferred.

[Texin]

17. Well, I got Cruz and Cornyn.

They're impenetrable.

[Texin]

18. Well, I got Cruz and Cornyn.

[calimary]

27. They STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

[rgbecker]

4. I'm hoping those with one or more GOP Senators apply some pressure.

I'm lucky to have a couple of Democrats who are pushing to get these bills through. Its the Red states that need to let these jerks know where we stand.

[calimary]

28. And they STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

[bullwinkle428]

5. Sorry, not wasting my breath calling Grassley and Ernst on this.

[calimary]

29. They STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

They need to hear the push-back. Especially when they're trying to pretend there isn't any!

[electric_blue68]

51. THIS!

[uponit7771]

6. K&R, There needs to be an OP on what we can do and the urgency of the situation. We don't have a

... democracy if they get rid of voting for some.

We have Belarus

[Celerity]

8. except Lukashenko hates Putin and actually has defied him many times (balanced off

on the bad side in that Lukashenko is a tin-pot authoritarian dictator himself)

[calimary]

30. Your reps STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

Whether they're D's or R's.

[ancianita]

7. Senate Directory

https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm

[calimary]

31. They STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

D's or R's. They STILL need to hear from you!

[ancianita]

54. Right. Especially Schumer.

[LymphocyteLover]

9. I can't see either of my rethug Senators voting for voting rights

they know it is life or death for them

[calimary]

32. They STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

[samnsara]

10. my two are blue blue blue..they are on it now.

[Progressive Jones]

19. Same here. I've got Duckworth and Durbin ! nt

[calimary]

47. I have Wyden and Merkley. I know they're on this. But I don't mind reminding them anyway!

They need to know LOTS of us have their backs.

Do you want your Dems feeling like they're walking a tightrope with a nice big, wide, roomy, well-reinforced, deeply-cushioned walkway directly underneath? Or do you want that tightrope stretched out over thin air, across the Grand Canyon?

[electric_blue68]

52. This, too. 👍

[calimary]

33. And even the true-blues - they STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

They need to be able to tell their wavering pals how much of a tsunami there is, building furiously, out there.

[JI7]

11. That's not going to do much.

[calimary]

34. They STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

[PortTack]

12. We have to fight this in the courts and on the ground..join, volunteer and please donate

https://www.democracydocket.com/
This group was founded by Marc Elias. The attorney that did all the post election law suits for the Dems

The ACLU

Stacey Abrams fairfight.org

Yes, we absolutely need HR1..but this shouldn’t wait. Money and grass roots organization is the only thing that will work right now.

[calimary]

35. They STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

ANYWHERE you can add your voice and your muscle - is good.

[Karadeniz]

13. Ted Cruz

[calimary]

36. He STILL needs to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

He needs to know what kind of COLOSSAL pushback there is, that's developing all over, here.

Destabilize the enemy.

[Dawson Leery]

14. Richard and Chris are on board with us already!

[calimary]

37. They STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

Add more calcium supplement to their backbones!

[Dawson Leery]

55. Agreed!

[PortTack]

15. You want to call someone ..call manchin. He firmly stands with voter suppression by refusing

To end the filibuster

[BigmanPigman]

20. I have two Dem senators so I always call the GOP ones.

I also throw Manchin in with the group of GOP senators.

Call the Senate .......(202) 224-3121

[calimary]

44. But your Dems can use the positive feedback to add calcium to their backbones.

We can't have them wilting on this!

[BigmanPigman]

57. I'm always thanking them for one thing or another.

I believe in positive feedback/encouragement. It usually worked well when I was a teacher.

[calimary]

38. Your Senators STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

D's or R's. They need to be confronted by the rapidly developing tidal wave against this. He needs to be confronted by this and not to be able to run from it or hide from it.

[mac56]

21. Amy K and Tina S

[calimary]

39. Even the "good guys" STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

They need to know you're staunchly with them, and you have their backs.

[Firestorm49]

22. Russian Ron Johnson is my Senator. Need I say more?

Please don’t look at this statement as an excuse. I’ve sent him plenty of emails over the years.

I will donate to verifiable sources to help in the cause but I feel it’s only a matter of time before WI Republicans get in lock step with overthrowing our democracy by any and all means possible. After all, and as usual, when they can’t win by convincing people that they give one shit about them, then they must do what they do best - lie, cheat, and steal whatever and wherever they can.

[calimary]

40. He STILL needs to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

And yes, donate where you can, to those who'll add to the muscle that's pushing from OUR side.

[barbtries]

23. well...

i'll call and write, but daily? they're both republicans. My Rep is already on it, but I'll remind him.

[calimary]

41. They STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

Yes. Daily, if you can. UNRELENTING.

[BobTheSubgenius]

24. That legislation like this might stand anywhere, let alone in several places, fills me with dread.

I can't disagree with the notion that laws like this imperil the entire Republic.

[calimary]

43. Your Senators STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

Whether they're D's or R's.

D's need to know the momentum is building FOR them. R's need to know the momentum is building AGAINST them, and AGAINST this.

[Bettie]

45. Grassley and Ernst

eh, I can call them, but it won't do any good.

The only thing that "talks" in their world is money.

[calimary]

48. Even so, they STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

[niyad]

53. Thank goodness I have Bennet and Hickenlooper. I had just about run out of nasty things to

say to cory.

It is a relief to have two sane ones to talk to.

[PatrickforB]

56. Yeah, but I think Hick needs a bit of a fire lit underneath. His staff seem a bit noncommittal about

the filibuster. I'll be following up with them probably Monday. I'm flattened today because I just got my second COVID shot.
