Email from Congresswoman on Oversight Committee attempts Subpeona of Elon
"The Oversight Committee Democrats moments ago just made a motion to subpoena him to come before the Committee and answer for his illegal actions. Republicans blocked the subpoena by a vote of 20-19. We agree that he should come before Congress immediately but unfortunately our colleagues on the other side of the aisle do not but we will keep pushing for this in every avenue possible.
My understanding is that there are several lawsuits underway as well regarding his illegal accessing of sensitive government data and we are tracking these closely. The committee and Democratic caucus are monitoring these efforts and are in close coordination
Hope this helps address your questions – we are using every tool in the toolbox that we possibly can!"
Would it be wrong to get the list of republicans and urge constituents to call them and express the extreme disapproval over their no vote? Mods correct me if you need to.

I urge you to voice your concerns if you are a constituent of the following states. We have to try to flip moderates and fight against this.
Edit: This is my first time having a post get this kind of attention. Thanks for the award!
Edit: I am emailing my representative and I have asked if they could get me names of who no voted specifically. I intend to call every single one of them. Would be worth it to cross-post into other states communities and have them call their Representatives. That way we know constituents are having their voices heard. Lastly we could also have a small script to save them the trouble of developing themselves and encourage them to help.
Edit: My representative is working on it right now "I’m checking with the committee staff and will get back to you once we have the list to share."
Also Leon, Scales or anyone else if your reading this, I am off the clock all day today! Nice Try
Edit: List obtained. List of Repubs who voted no Cross-post as necessary https://imgur.com/a/BrtjXn0
Edit: Getting a lot of questions about do you have to be a constituent? No congressman and congresswoman answer to everyone, even non constituents. Preferably call them. but have your voices heard. Use 5 calls app to call if you need a quick easy way to do this. All you do is type in your zip code and it will help you. Ill be using Google voice to make calls.
Edit: Sorry I have not been able to answer, Ive been calling all of them. Congressman Higgins office stated "We don't think Leon should have to." What?!?!
Edit: I have completed making calls to all of them, and have informed my representative about y'all!! I am waiting on a reply and also informed that Congressman Ro Khanna would be a yes vote if they did another subpoena. Thank you everyone.
Update "I believe the next opportunity to make such a motion would be when there is another committee meeting, at this point I haven’t gotten notice of when the next committee hearing will take place but I would think there could be one next week."
Is there a way to call a emergency or special session for the committee to meet? A new vote needs to be had not in another week but now.
Can the various cross-post be linked or a view count be messaged to me, I want them to understand how serious of an issue we are taking this. any advice would be appreciated.
