3. When I call GOP reps I try to avoid having my conversation

recorded since my reps are Dems and I call GOP reps in other districts and states that I want to influence with negative feedback. I have fake zip codes and addresses to get me "in the door" with the staffers who answer the phones and to cover my ass as a constituent in case they want to see of I am legit.

I got the idea at an anti-tRump rally in 2017. It works like a charm and only takes 5 minutes to get an address in a particular district from Zillow. I've literally called hundreds of GOP reps this way since 2017. I keep all my records and notes.
