25. I found out a good trick from fellow Dems...

At one of my 2017 Impeachment protests someone told me that you do not have to be a constituent in any given state to call GOP reps as long as you use this system...use Zillow to get addresses of homes listed for sale in every senators' state and reps' districts.

That is what I have done ever since!!! It's easy too, I found a shortcut to make it even faster. It takes about 5 min per rep.

What I have been doing successfully is to look for a particular Senator or Congressman and go to THEIR district in their state. I use Zillow in order to give me fast info on any homes for sale in a particular district of every red state. I use this fake Zillow address in order to be considered a constituent in that specific Red state and I call their reps (I act like I am an angry GOP voter right off the bat). That way they will not hang up on me. Also, if you give a staffer a phone number and address it is legitimately from their district. That's when I go onto my angry MAGA constituent act (I should get an Oscar Award at this point).

My niece worked as a staffer in one of our local Dem Congress members in DC. She told me that they DO actually listen to the calls they get. GOOD!!!!!

Each call takes about 5 min and I have called ALL GOP Senators at least 4 times since 2016. It takes energy and I often end up crying from frustration and passion but that's a good thing. If staffers hear my upset voice then that is an added benefit. They think I am sincerely upset when I tell them that "He was someone I trusted and voted for and so did my family and friends and he is now taking way my healthcare? My social security? My family amd friends are very angry and we will NOT vote GOP ever again!". That's my basic script. It works for me.
