People in congress have been getting ~1600 calls a minute vs the usual ~40/min. Directed pressure can work. Keep it up (lemmy.ml)

I don't like making phone calls so I emailed my Representative and both my Senators. I got a reply from Senator Adam Schiff. It's boilerplate, but the specific topics of the paragraphs indicate someone ticked off a list of the issues I raised (okay, "ranted about" might be more accurate, the phrases "Trump's blitzkrieg" and "choking on the smoke and dust of climate destruction" and "their very existence denied" and "already being rounded up regardless of their legal right to be here" and " your vow to uphold the Constitution" were in there) to program the reply. So someone is keeping track of what his constituents are pushing for.
