I mean, you should be calling them every day if you care about what&#8217;s going on in this country, but flood their fucking offices on Tuesday.\u00a0 Phone calls are always better than emails because you&#8217;re forcing staffers to stop what they&#8217;re doing to answer the phone. Disrupt their day!<\/p>\n<p>If you truly can&#8217;t call during business hours, you can text the word RESIST to <a href=\"https:\/\/resist.bot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resistbot<\/a> at 50409 to send a message at any time of the day or night. I find that I get much better responses to Resistbot than I do to emails sent through the elected officials&#8217; websites. Use Resistbot while you&#8217;re on the train, at the gym, in a bar, walking the dog, during the previews at the movies. It&#8217;s that easy to use once you do the initial set-up.
