Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Anyone in Jared Golden's district should express their extreme disapproval with his vote.
Anyone can register a Google voice number with a Maine area code.
They can detect that though, in the same way that Discord does.
Having said that, still might be worth giving the feedback, even if it doesn't affect him directly. A "read the room" type of thing.

I would say it'd be more effective to be open about not being a constituent specifically but being a Dem voter elsewhere with strong feelings especially if you're willing to put an effort into primarying them.
Personally I always prefer honesty, and I myself would be explicit about not being a constitute, but the flip side is that if he's solely focused on the next election and keeping his job (which unfortunately most politicians seem to be), he really may not care about feedback from non-constitutes.
But bottom line, they'll know, either way.

The irony is, he only keeps getting elected as a centrist. He’s like our Manchin, but D2 is going to be the worst effected by Trumptariffs.
Jared golden won a red district as a Democrat, and usually votes what he thinks is best for his constituents. Not saying I agree with his vote, but I respect him for it
