'5 Calls' is one way for U.S. citizens to make a political impact and 'make your voice heard' (5calls.org)

To whom it may concern: The non-profit '5 Calls' makes it easy for you to reach your members of Congress and make your voice heard.

They research issues, write scripts that clearly articulate a progressive position, figure out the most influential decision-makers, and collect phone numbers for their offices.

All you have to do is call.

For H.R. 9495 I emailed my Representative because I was not feeling up to a phone call, but this morning I tried calling my Senators and neither picked up.

While I have no way of knowing if my email was ever read, if the call doesn't connect, they will guaranteedly not get my message.

Does anyone have any tips on contacting your Congresspeople by phone (ie: best time to call, best office to call, etc)?

In case anybody stumbles upon my comment later and is also looking for the answer: I had much better luck today calling their local offices (not the DC offices).
