Tell HN: Political advocacy tool in need of programmer volunteers
I'm a user of https://resistbot.io/ which helps people contact their officials.
I think they've sent >100,000 faxes? (Based on https://www.recode.net/2017/4/27/15440440/voters-text-pages-fax-political-views-protest-resistbot-trump-health-care from April, presumably substantially more since then).
Tech stach is Python, Flask, RapidPro, AWS.

I found that a few of my friends tried to use it, but when it asked them what they wanted to say, they didn't know -- because in their words, "I didn't know what important votes were coming up that I could potentially sway, so I didn't know what was worth talking about."
