I need input and advice...

I'm looking up the phone numbers for Republican Senators who aren't insane. My sister and I came up with around 24.

I had planned to post the names and phone numbers on FB and even posted that I was going to do so. I have around 1,700 FB "friends" because right after the first "No Kings March" (June 14, 2025) many, many people from all over the country were sending and receiving FB "friend requests" including me.

Then I got to thinking about it. I know how horrible those on the right can be. I can see some of them (maybe a significant number) making phone calls to these Senators either showing support for what happened in Venezuela or calling and posing as a progressives and being really nasty on the the voice mail.

I'll, of course, post the names and numbers on DU when I have them. PLEASE my dear DU family, this isn't a time to criticize the Senators I've come up with (by posting something like, "That Senator is a kook, that Senator won't do a thing, etc.....)

I'd just love your input about my concerns about posting on FB.....

Thank you!

A lot of it rises from the fact that we are all inundated with scams, from every direction. (email, telephone, web browsing pop-ups), it is like you have to wear armor to be out in the world these days.

And then add to that the destruction of civility in our politics.

It is no surprise that we are less trusting of our fellow humans.

I wish it was not so.

how about sharing your list with trusted DUers who can respond to questions from others here as to who is or is not insane by PM after deciding whether the member is someone who can be trusted?

If you ask for volunteers, I am on board.
