I just called my Senators to express my opposition to Neil Gorsuch... NOW IT'S YOUR TURN

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.

I think calling once a month minimum on this is needed. Hearings probably won't start till at least April.

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.

It's a symbolic gesture considering who my Senators are, but I still consider it my civic duty.

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.

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!!

there is not going to be anybody better, and could be worse, even if Pence is president. Color me discouraged.
