I used this service to speak to my Congresswoman for the first time in my life. Kudos to the Tumblr team for enabling a lot of generally-not-political people like me who to make our voices heard when needed.
- benstein 15y agoThis comment made me very, very happy. Hopefully you and many other first time callers will continue to make your voices heard in the political process. Despite what the cynics may say, calling your legislators really does make a difference. Benjamin Stein Co-founder & CTO, Mobile Commons
- Aaronontheweb 15y agoI could actually hear the "oh shit" realization in the aide's voice when I spoke to him. I explained how the bill worked and how it could impact him and some of the services he uses every day. That made my day.

- izaidi 15y agoI just want to make sure I understand: you called the Congresswoman's office, the aide answered, you explained the situation to him, he realized it was important, and he agreed to let you talk to his boss?
- Aaronontheweb 15y agoNo, didn't get to talk to his boss :(
