From the link:
"All election cycle, Donald Trump has been our problem. Now, we're HIS PROBLEM, and since Congress serves us, SO ARE THEY. Let's use the best tool at our disposal (our elected representation) to show Donald once and for all that, in our America, ACCOUNTABILITY TRUMPS HATE.

1. Begin with the WEEKLY-CALL-TO ACTION. This is the #1 priority for calls. Find these in the 2nd tab "Calls to Action" I'll update every Sunday eve/early Monday (sometimes mid-week if something urgent comes up; just added one today 11/17). Call Party Leadership AND your own representatives.

2. Toward the end of the week, when you have made and followed up on the WEEKLY-CALL-TO-ACTION, make calls re: specific progressive issues that are important to you. Call about even-numbered issues on Thursdays and odd-numbered issues on Fridays. Try to avoid calling about an issue that is directly-related to the WEEKLY-CALL-TO-ACTION, since officials will likely receive lots of calls about this particular topic. If that issue is super important to you, just make extra follow-up calls using the WEEKLY-CALL-TO-ACTION script. These are in the third tab. "Calling Scripts" "


So get to it!  No matter where you are on the political spectrum, let's get to voicing our nuanced, personal viewpoints, instead of letting the crazy click-bait media dominate the conversation!

Today I added my representative and senators and both party's leadership to the contacts on my phone. 

I called my representative and left a bumbling message about Standing Rock.  I imagine this will get easier with practice.

Anyone else made a call yet?  Does the link to the google sheet work?

Yep! Called my state's US senators to ask them to condemn Bannon as an advisor, then another day called Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders to advocate an investigation into the potential Russian interference in the election. Thanks for posting! I had seen this on FB, and it's a great link! And yes, it's clumsy at first. I recommend having a script in front of you and taking a few deep breaths....

Well done guys. The senators don't care that you're out there until you make yourselves known.

However...

I approve this message.

I thought you could only say this as you are looking at a camera with a big gun in your hand after you have shot several rounds at the face of your political opponent who was plastered over a bullseye target 25 yards away??

Or is that just the joke they show to us Australians as to what political ads are like over in the US?
