Tips on contacting members of Congress
You can help by selecting a member below and contacting them by phone or email (via OpenCongress' Contact Congress feature). When calling on the phone, be sure to identify yourself as a constituent, and give your mailing address for verification. If you are not a constituent, just explain that you are writing regarding an issue of national importance that has to do with their position on the Legislative Appropriations Subcommittee, and that none of your representatives are on the subcommittee. Please be polite, and ask the member's staff what the member's position is on the opening up access to bulk congressional data. If they indicate their position, use the key below to categorize the answer. If they don't, urge them to support open data language and work to include it in the bill.

If someone has already recorded the member's position, contact them again! The more calls/emails they get, the more they'll pay attention. If there position hasn't changed, please note your contact on the bulk data Senate contact log so everyone can track their responses.
