I have three reps I call on the regular (but I think I might start to include my governor’s office too). They (the interns) don’t always pick up. Depends on call volume, time of day, or whether they give a crap. But I highly recommend 5calls.org They do help get some thoughts together based on topic and give you a statement you can read if you need to and they supply the phone numbers for your reps. I go off script all the time and am passionate, but I try hard not to rant.
This link is AMAZING. I will share this far and wide.
I’ve wished for something like this each time I picked up the goddamn phone to call my goddamn representative and stumbled through my statement. I’ve called a few times, good on me, but it was awful. Inept phone-users unite! We too can call our reps!
I made three calls today to my representatives regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Y’all, please do the same. I used the script from 5calls and it was empowering.
In my call yesterday to my reps I asked them to help the judicial in enlisting marshals to go arrest trump.
Edit: Adding https://5calls.org/ for visibility.
You made a call and were actually able to speak with someone? How does one do this exactly?
Calling during “working” hours has worked for me.
