To whom it may concern: The non-profit ‘5 Calls’ makes it easy for you to reach your members of Congress and make your voice heard.
They research issues, write scripts that clearly articulate a progressive position, figure out the most influential decision-makers, and collect phone numbers for their offices.
All you have to do is call.
Something I like to do is to take their call scripts and mail them as signed letters. Phone calls can be useful, sure (when they’re answered or the answering machine isn’t full or disabled), but my understanding is that written letters are taken more seriously in those offices. The order of significance, as it was explained to me, goes email -> phone call -> letter.
