If my rep already voted Nay, what else can I realistically do?
- dannyobrien 10y agoKeep the pressure up. If ISPs actually do almost any of the acts that this repeal enable, this vote will have ramifications that politicians will want to distance themselves from. With over 20,000 phone calls to Congress in just 48 hours, this is now on the scopes of current congresspeople (and those who would like to campaign against them).

- ascagnel_ 10y agoAlso, calling after a vote to say you agreed helps them chart future decisions. Support of an action will help keep them down that policy path.
- kelnos 10y agoCall your Rep's office, and tell them (politely) that, because of votes like this, you will be voting for whomever challenges them in the next election, unless you see your Rep's vote record improve drastically and align with your interests. And then follow through on that.

- noonespecial 10y agoMake it a mark of shame that does real damage to their reelection campaign.
- callcallcall 10y agoYou can call up their office and thank them. Seriously. Reps need to hear that people stand by their decisions. Also, you can spread the word to friends and family.
