(41,113 posts)Voting is only our first duty as citizens. Calling & telling our MOCs what we want is the second part. You can call all of your MOCs every day & it only takes a few minutes. You don't drive or fly anywhere.
What to do when you call your MOC: Always be courteous. No swearing. If you get vmail, you don't get a lot of time for a message, so keep it short & sweet. Leave your name & zip code at the end.
Also, don't just call your own MOCs. When Cory Gardner, my senator, spoke out against the shutdown, I called some key GOP senators & asked them to stand with Senator Gardner against the shutdown.
It probably doesn't matter that I do it, but if all of us did it...
The last time we filled their boxes to overflowing was the financial crisis of 2008. Are we there yet?
on edit: We should start a campaign called MOC Monday.
