8. They have scripts to use when you call them but I like to write my own

since it needs to be short...I am very passionate and I tend to start crying. When I called about the ACA it was a benefit since it showed the phone staffers how deadly serious and personal the issue is with people who need it.

I am NOT going to ask them to postpone the SCOTUS pick until after the midterms. Jonathan Alter was on MSNBC and I liked what he said. We need to not have any new SCOTUS justice until after the Mueller investigation due to obstruction of jjustice and conflict of interest since the SCOTUS will be making decisions about the investigation. Both Gorsuch and his new pick should have to recuse themselves from the decisions. McConnell held the seat open for a year for Gorsuch and was threatening to hold it open for 4 years if Hillary had been elected so it is not that absurd an idea....it is HIS original idea (the damn hypocrite).

Dems suggest we target them. I heard Flake, Corker, and McCain (I thought he was out of the voting for a while) since Michael Moore said Arizona and Tenn. for the GOP reps. For the Dem reps we need to maintain Manchin (W. Virginia), Heitkamp (N. Dakota), Donnelly (Indiana) and Tester (Montana). I am calling all of them with valid addresses from Zillow. I do it a lot and it works.

12. I call Congress critters from other states more often than I call my own Senators and Reps.

Because mine are already on the right side. And my Rep. will win re-election by 50 points.

14. Me too, my reps in both chambers are all Dems.

I don't care if I am from out of state and it is "immoral" to pretend I am a constituent. We are living in unique times and certain actions are necessary. I am not a snowflake, I am a patriot fighting for my country.
