Are you calling your Congress person's office? [View all]

Regardless of their party you should. As Chris Haye's reposted on bluesky today:
For folks who say, "Why should I even bother calling my Democratic Senator? They'll vote the right way.." I need you to understand that when Dem electeds try to justify why they're cowering in terror from Trump right now, the VERY FIRST THING THEY CITE is: "no one's calling my office"

I have been meaning to call my Senator and Congressman. They're both Dems, but they haven't been standing up as much as I think they should, and they need to know what the rank and file is feeling right now. Most of us are not happy. Do you think they know that? Calling them is an easy way to make sure they do.
