Resist.bot and 5 Calls make it easy. I find half the friction is finding the contact information.

  > Resist.bot and 5 Calls make it easy Duplicate comms work if they’re a significant fraction of likely primary voters. If ten people send a form letter in, it gets shredded. It’s not enough to signal organisation potential, yet enough to signal the people won’t take the next step of organising themselves. Practically always, going to the elected’s website and submitting a short blurb is better than using a form. (Getting contact information usually involves just searching for the elected.)

    Check them out—they aren't form factories. Resist.bot is just an SMS-based interface to send emails or paper letters to politicians, designed to minimize friction. (At least the way I use it.) When I get pissed about some issue, having a single, quick interface where I can text any relevant politician my position is the difference between sending it and not.
