Maybe we need to take the shawshank redemption approach "Still, I'd like to try, with your permission. I'll send a letter a week. They can't ignore me forever."

Let's build automated tools allowing people to send out letters, signed petitions, emails, faxes, pre-recorded voicemail etc.
That would would potentially eliminate procrastination.
Just a thought.
- callcongressnow 13y agoA friend worked at a congress person's office a while back. When I told her about automating calls, she was not pleased. Very high noise to signal ratio. I think that effort would be better invested in informing the public and giving them better tools than mindlessly spamming their offices. https://github.com/zmaril/callcongressnow/issues/1 https://github.com/zmaril/callcongressnow/issues/1
- sitkack 13y agoThis is an excellent idea, thanks for making this. Along with calling, it might be helpful to have a wiki that outlined the issues and talking points. People often care, but then feel like they don't have enough depth of knowledge to take action. At very least it would be nice to point to one.
