She's not doing that.

6. She's not factoring those calls into her decision.

Does anyone here honestly thing Murkowski will vote against the rupugs nominee?

By all means, call... but let's not be under any grand illusion like it will make a difference.

2. When you call make it personal.

During national calls to organize strategies to resist that is what they always recommend. Also having a script can come in handy and they are already prepared. I think that it is recommended to focus on one issue. I am calling reps often and I find that with Murkowski saving the ACA and pre-existing conditions is the issue to focus on rather than Roe V Wade since it effects more people. Of course you can say whatever you want but that is a useful strategy.

From Indivisible:
"Got a Republican Senator? The ‘ask’ is the EXACT SAME as for Democrats. Republican Senators Murkowski (Alaska) and Collins (Maine) have previously encouraged Trump to look beyond his list of extremists—now that he’s chosen from among them, it’s time to turn up the heat.

5. I think it is our duty to resist

as much as it is our duty to vote...it IS the American voice that needs to be heard and heard loudly!

I call reps in all the states using addresses and zip codes from Zillow listings in cities across the country so they take my calls as a constituent. It literally takes two minutes to do and it works. My cell phone area code can be from any state. They never check it out either. I know someone who answer phones in DC as an intern for my Dem rep and she told me that they do keep track of what you called about, what your concerns are, etc. and they pass it along to their boss (I thought they probably threw the notes out). I got the idea at an Impeach tRump rally a year ago.

8. Try

Trying doesn't hurt. This isn't just about Roe. This is also about the Affordable Care Act.
