Do phone calls from progressive activists really make a difference? Won’t my conservative senator know that I’m definitely/never going to vote for him/her?
The goal of this call-in day is to show the senators how broad the opposition to the “nuclear option” is. So regardless of your political beliefs, we need your voice to be heard on Wednesday. And this is not a clear-cut left/right issue. Some relatively conservative senators have voiced concern about what the “nuclear option” would do to the institution of the Senate. And many senators of all stripes will be nervous about voting for something that is perceived as an attack on bipartisanship or democracy. So your calls will make a big difference.
