these it asks for my title. Sometimes I write Dr when writing to the GOP, especially when I wrote to tRump. I figured that they hate women so much that it would be thrown into the trash. If I write "doctor" they may at least read the first sentence before it is trashed.

I am OK with leaving my number. I won't be answering it anyway. This is why I prefer calling in person. I use my cell phone which is only for long distance and emergencies. I call GOP reps and give them a piece of my mind since I let them think I am a constituent (with cell phones people move yet keep the same phone number these days so my area code is not a way for them to verify my, or anyone's, location). I can get a valid address for a home to buy or rent from Zillow real estate listing for each rep's specific zip code. I Google the city and state and presto, tons of listings with addresses, etc. It literally takes 2 minutes to look up Zillow addresses and place a call to a rep. in DC.

to get addresses, in case they asked, and it took 15 minutes. At one of my earlier protests I met a woman who gave me the Zillow idea. Works like a charm!

If this guy was any more conservative he would have been born in the 1200's.

Why do these assholes run for office if they feel compelled to legislate against democracy?

Edit to say his name is on the Senate bill, SB484, not the House bill, HB1
