Contacting Congress Using 5Calls
Once your congressperson forms a public stance on an issue, it’s hard for them to walk it back. That’s why the earlier they hear your opinion, the more likely it is you’ll make an impact.
Calling is by far the most effective way to ensure that your representative hears you before they take a public stance. It’s much faster than writing a physical letter, and congressional staffers keep tallies of how their constituents are weighing in on current issues. And, don’t forget that Members of Congress only care about calls from their own constituents. As statisfying as it might be for one of us in Wisconsin to call a representative from Idaho, the truth is that it’s just not impactful.
