"Contact the Senator"? are you living in 1920? ALL contact is thru some 'call center' likely in India or "Outer Bora Bora". The Senator NEVER sees, nor hears anything you send. They ONLY listen to the Man with the Bag of Money
To get them to listen you would have to Violate Rule # 02 EEEKK !
Yes they do. Source: a family member works for US senators office. But just keep it simple. āSupport President Trumpās Supreme Court pickā is enough and even if you write a 3 page letter/20 minute call thatās the message they get. They do track the calls, emails and letters. For stuff like this it amounts to a list āfor and againstā. It DOES make a difference if youāre in your state so you do need to provide your name and address. Doesnāt help to call other states. If no name/address they wonāt tally it. Try to be polite and brief - even to Dems.
They DO discard anything from out of state. Unless youāre Jeff Flake and get āconfrontedā by a paid shill in a DC elevator. They are (supposed to be) beholden to the constituents of their state.
Adding - both my senators are R (one based, one squishy) and Iām still calling them both Monday to express support for GEOTUS pick. Takes less than 5 mins and you bet your ass the other side is calling.
