I would recommend that you call, email, and write representatives beyond your own – particularly party and committee leadership, and particularly Republican representatives. Let me forewarn you that you are going to have to fudge a bit on your residence as the system is set up to ONLY let people within a representative’s district contact them. This is true even with those in leadership positions (i.e. Ryan and O’Connell) who are supposedly representing all of us. You will need to identify the zip codes and cities/towns for those representatives. It is not hard, just look at where their district offices are (this is right on their contact pages). Further, you can coordinate with friends and family and “adopt” half a dozen (plus party leadership) and they are your’s to contact, inform, cajole, and hold their feet to the fire.
Create and Resist!
