The biggest mistake Dems in red states make is NOT CALLING THEIR REPUBLICAN reps.

Calling your rep - ESPECIALLY if they're Republican, is *critical*. Otherwise they just hear from supporters and think they're doing a great job.

7 1/2. Breaking Through the Opposition: Calling the Other Side Calling an elected official from the opposing party may seem futile, but it’s far from it. Persistent and respectful communication can influence their understanding of your concerns as a constituent. Communication keeps the issue on their radar and can sway them if enough constituents voice the same opinion. Remember, public pressure has historically led to bipartisan support on various issues. Also consider that if your MoC doesn’t hear from a diverse range of opinions within their district, they may (falsely) assume that their views are spot-on. Even the most confident elected official wants to win over swing voters and maintain their seat come election time. Speaking up accomplishes a lot.
