Somebody had the list on an earlier post. Most were in safe districts as well.

The capitol switchboard is 202 224-3121. It takes seconds to call, say the name of one of these 10 and verbalize your displeasure.

A short, calm message about your anger at their shameful conduct of censuring al green is most effective, especially if you're in their constituency.

"Please tell the representative that they're a disgraceful bootlicking traitor" just feels more appropriate though.
