Don't put it off... DO IT NOW while you can still make a difference.
The phone numbers you need are all right here:

Don't worry, DU will still be here when you get back.

(4,187 posts)I actually got through and spoke with a staffer for one of them, and I left a message for the other.
It's important to leave your name and address, including your zip code. Without that, they assume you're not in their district and ignore your call.

(24,653 posts)It can be very difficult to get through to a staffer in DC, but getting through to a local office can be a little easier. Took me three state offices to finally get a live person with Rubio. Messages from their state offices do get to them every bit as much as the ones left with DC staffers.

(3,208 posts)I tweeted AND called Mo. senators McCaskill (D) and Blunt (R). I am now using my class on the Constitution in my calls. They said when I took the class I had "Constitutional competence" so I am using it!!!
I mentioned in the call that I feel a justice like this on the SC will upset the checks and balances in our country.
I was way less nervous this time! I am getting the hang of it!!
