How to find your Representatives
You all probably know all this, but in case you need a link to share with friends and family:
Find Your Representative - by zip code for House of Representatives. this should lead to your Reps, and then to their websites where you can find the contact info for the Washington D.C. Office and their State office.
Senators Contact - list form for the Senators. The link on their name seems to go to their webpage, and their link under "contact" can go to either a webform or a webpage. You'll have to experiment to see which one gets you to a phone number.
I highly recommend once you find your representatives' phone numbers (House Rep, and 2 Senators) that you program them into your phone. This will make calling them later easier, because there will be one less barrier to getting it done. Also works for you favorite Chinese take-out (changed my life.)
ALSO IMPORTANT
Contact your STATE REPRESENTATIVES and GOVERNOR. Right now, Republicans control the majority of State Legislatures, and these will be the rising stars of the party in future elections. No reason not to voice your displeasure at the direction of the national party with it's lower rung members.

Democrats Got Wrecked Again in State Legislative Races
I'm not going to list every state, so if folks want to share in comments that would be great. Also, if you're having trouble looking it up, let me know and I'll help.
