I think I'm going to drop the bit about Republican members caring, since I'll be calling Senator Markey. (I find that I'm not doing well with long scripts.)
ETA: I have made the call, and wound up fumbling what I meant to say, but think I got in the key points, and his staffer said that he would let the senator know and wished me a good day.
In case it's of use to anyone, here's my shortened script, leaving:
Hi, my name is $yourname, and I live in $town. I want to let Senator $theirname know that I object to Rex Tillerson as our next Secretary of State because of his strong business links to Russia, and his close relationship with Vladimir Putin and other members of the Russian government. I believe Mr Tillerson's personal and business relationships to date, and lack of understanding of the difference between conducting international business and international diplomacy, will prevent him from acting in America’s best interests, so he should not be our next Secretary of State.
