You know what, I'll get in on this. Make calls and post the screenshots (starting after this post goes live). For every ten calls, I will *also* post some embarrassing facts on main. And y'all, believe me, I've got some *corkers*

For folks who are uncomfortable calling, doing it now is great because no one is answering phones now. If you are game to talk to a polite staffer give them a call Tuesday

I'm serious about this. I would not offer if I didn't think this is genuinely important

Alyson's made it easy for you! Get out there and gather up the material to embarrass me!

Don't want an embarrassing fact about me? Call your rep and tell them to raise hell -- demand investigations, demand RFK's firing, demand the destruction of the CDC and vaccine access stop. Do that, I'll post Arroyo pictures. Look at her. She believes in you. 5calls.org/issue/center...

Thank you for posting about this! I am sharing my pic here but I don’t want you to share an embarrassing fact, so count this is a -1 if you can 😉

“Hi, my name is [your name] and I’m a constituent in [town]. “I’m calling [Sen/Rep name] to express my outrage over RFK Jr’s attacks on vaccines and public health. He’s putting our lives at risk and I ask that [Sen/Rep] work to remove him immediately.” Call each Senator (2) + Rep! 📲 (202) 224-3121

I would say this is better: if you live in a blue state, and have a blue rep and 2 blue senators, it is better to call friends who live in red states, try to get them to call their delegation

It’s also a good idea to call Dem Senators and Rep - staffers tally all calls (pro/con) and can help convey the urgency of an issue to the member of Congress, and provide assurances they’re acting in accord with constituent sentiments. Thanks for calling!

Alternatively: “Hi, my name is [your name] and I’m a constituent in [town]. “I’m calling [Sen/Rep] to express my outrage over RFKJr’s body odor resembling that of a dead bear. He’s putting our lives at risk & I ask that [Sen/Rep] stage a bicycle accident in Central Park to dispose of his corpse.”
