Email is NOT as good! Phone calls are the most effective means by far. I know it's uncomfortable, it is for me too, but you need to power through that feeling.

I called and kept calling until I got through. There were busy signals for 30 minutes before I got in. Be persistent. Keep trying!
- redserk 2y agoTo add, as someone who’s called offices to share opinions over the last several years: You may get either voicemail or someone will pick up. A staffer will be who gets these messages, so be polite. Simply being polite means you’d be doing better than a lot of other callers. I state my name, that I am a constituent, my city+ZIP, a brief message stating that I urge the congressperson to support/oppose an action and why. If you’re talking to a human, give them a moment to jot it down and you’re done. Also, you don’t have to call their DC office. If that line is busy, try a field office.
