I'm pretty sure that the GOPee senator who purports to represent my state (an unverified claim, since no one here has seen him or heard from him....), Roy Blunt, ain't gonna break ranks and vote no, so my calls will do absolutely no good.

And then call your local newspaper or television station, and tell them that you called Blunt's office. That way, Blunt can't tell the media he hasn't heard from anybody.

over the last 3 months to leaves messages telling him to 1) FIX OBAMACARE, 2) Vote against Trumpcare, (You will have the blood of millions of working-class families on your hands if you allow Trumpcare to replace Obamacare! or How will you sleep at night if you take healthcare away from working families? or The fastest growing demographic of opioid dependents in the US are white males - how can you allow Medicaid cuts to addiction rehabilition programs that serve to rehabilitate Americans who look like YOU?), 3) The President has mental health issues and you must take steps to remove him from office, the 25th Amendment was written for that batshit-crazy nut-job, and 4) Stop being a $hitbag republican! Don't repeal Obamacare - FIX IT!

I read somewhere that these phone calls/messages are tallied and a count is given to the Senator. They say you should only speak to one issue per phone call and a couple of times I have made 3 or 4 phone calls a night...

Call (202)224-3121 and leave messages, write emails or better yet do both!

NOW is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party...and country as well as their fellow man, woman and child.

Even if your representative is a dem you can still call by using an address and zip from Zillow (it works...I've done it literally over 100 different times since Jan). Any phone area code is OK due to cell phones. It takes 5 min.

Please, please, please do this!

She was a firm no.

I have Feinstein and Harris. But if I lived in NV I'd be on the phone nonstop.
