so if they are phoned they will ask for an address in state (sometimes they'll even ask for a 9 digit zip code.)
If you aren't calling from an in-state address, there's another possible way to get their attention.
Tell them that if they don't vote NO, you will be making a substantial donation to their opponent in their next election. (2020 for Collins, 2022 for Murkowski.)
If they hear enough out-of-staters promising to donate to their opponents, maybe that will make them care about what we think.

No violence, but they should not be able to get into an elevator, buy a cup of coffee without THOUSANDS of patriots in their face!

(51,625 posts)Someone gave me an idea at a rally over a year ago and I have done it often and it works and is easy and fast. I find the senators' local office locations then I google "Zillow homes for sale in (name of city and state)" for each diff state. You get addresses and zips of empty homes. If I get asked for my location I have that. Usually I only get asked if I give them a compliment and they want your info (probably to get donations later). If they ask I give them Zillow address /zip. Any cell phone area code can be from anywhere since people keep the same number after they move. It takes 3 minutes to Google it and 2 more minutes to call, 5 total and easy...CALL! A relative worked for my Dem congressman in DC and she said that they do take down your comments and pass them on and if you don't give an address they still take your comment.

Who the fuck does she think she is?
I took a photo of Joshua Chamberlain's grave this weekend, thank God he didn't have the same attitude Collin's had.
