Is calling my representative and saying to the staff "I'm a constituent and would like to express my desire for Rep X to support this bill" or is there something more concrete that we should say? edit: I'm starting to think that for each of the bills we care about (whether it be in support or in defiance), having a "blueprint" of what to say during the call might help the "fringe callers" in calling their representatives (especially if it is the first time doing so)

The important things to include are: * Your name and location (so they know you are a constituent). * The name of the bill and the bill number. * Your stance and why you feel it is important. It can't hurt to ask your Congress Critter if they have a stance on the bill, then you can share that stance with others if it doesn't match yours.
