Voter Info

Our Community needs us.​

Executive orders. Proposed budgets. Unlawful use of force. Our communities need us to raise our voices LOUD.

​

CALL our Congress members everyday. Local numbers and DC. 

Congressional phones are burning up right now - 40x what they normally get. Senators get reports about the 3 most-called about topics a day, sorted by zip code and area code.​

​

Two options: Follow the info below OR download the app for 5calls.org. They specialize in following the news and upcoming WORST actions of this administration and have created scripts / background info to use on different issues. Super simple! 

​

If you have specific concerns not related to what 5Calls.org covers, dial directly.

​

• Put all the numbers here in your phone for ease of access - say under P for Politician.

• Mention a personal reason for calling

• Try to speak with a person; leave a message only as a last resort.

• Leave your zip code!

• Be clear on what you want — "I'm disappointed that the Senator..." or "I want to thank the Senator for their vote on... " or "I want the Senator to know that voting in _____ way is the wrong decision for Colorado because...." Don't leave any ambiguity.

• Be concise.

• Be nice to the staffer - usually young and totally overwhelmed. ​​​​​​​​

​

VISIT Durango offices ... but CALL AHEAD! There's typically only one staff person locally, and that person has many many counties to visit weekly. Call and ask for an appointment.

​

Do not bother with emails or letters! Write LTEs - write the Durango Herald and Telegraph! They track that stuff. Also give them hell - or kudos - on Social Media.
