Texan here. Cornyn and Cruz. I feel it's totally useless to call, but I DO call.

Told the staffer today that I didn't see any correlation as to why healthcare should be a conduit for a tax break for the wealthy, reminded them that the Senators represent ALL of their constituents, not just the wealthy, AND reminded them that I do vote.

You can hear the loathing on the other end of the phone.

This guy started a toll-free number that will automatically call your representatives - all you have to do is input your zip code! Easy-peasy.

Call Congress with one number: 1-844-USA-0234

vote to protect the ACA he and I would vote for the leading Republican candidate against him in every election. (The Georgia Republican Party has an open primary, and the chance of our district going Democrat is nil.)
