2. Even if you have to speak to a live person, it's not that big a deal. I keep it simple.

"I'm calling about the SAVE act & would like the senator to vote no & encourage his colleagues to vote no as well." Leave your name & zip code. That's it.

Our reps actually DO pay attention to the number of calls & postcards they get. It takes ten minutes or less to make three calls. No joke. Not sure what to say? 5 CALLS makes it easy! They keep track of issues & bills & have sample text for messages.

Phone in your resistance! ☎️
Get the 5 CALLS app or visit their site!

I call my reps on Wednesdays after PT, in my car. I have privacy & quiet. It doesn't matter what you say as much as that you make the calls.
