It is important to maintain frequent contact with your elected Representatives, even when you are confident that they will vote in agreement with your interests. Positive feedback encourages your Representatives to stay the course and resist the pressure they get from opposing perspectives. They also need evidence of broad public support for Progressive policies to help lobby their colleagues to work together on these important issues. Sufficient public sentiment may even empower them to sway members of the opposition to break with their orthodoxy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of particular importance right now are Senate confirmation hearings and votes for Cabinet nominees. Some of the nominees are problematic even for Republican Senators. A concerted effort in opposition to these appointments might cause some nominees to withdraw, or even to fail a Senate vote for confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep up the pressure. It works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always be sure to provide your name and ZIP Code when leaving messages. The US Senator’s Fresno numbers are usually the least busy and seldom have full voicemail queues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
