"So many of you have called the Congressional Switchboard since I gave out the number from the stage at the Women's March. Now nearly every Senator's voice mail is full! If you can't get through to your Senator or member of Congress by calling 202-225-3121, then email them at: (his/her last name).senate(or house).gov. And keep trying to phone. Calls have a big impact. In the morning, we have to call our Senators and tell them we expect them to vote NO on making Betsy DeVos the Secretary of Education. 202-225-3121."
