    "call your representatives" = talk to a robot and leave a voicemail that will be automatically deleted after 90 days

    I can understand calling local representatives, but they don’t have power to do anything about Palestine. And they’re probably bought out by the Israel lobby to criminalize BDS. People who unironically call senators like Nancy Pelosi are just so sad

    A lot of politicians in the US really do get freaked out by calls. It's not going to magically move them on any issue you want, but they are actually that old fashioned and just assume if their intern gets 100 calls about something then their voters are frothing about it. For something like Israel it's gonna be a much harder move because of the Israel lobby, but you can spook people into maybe shutting the fuck up or going with the flow in different circumstances based on the fear that the calls represent a bubbling opinion in their voter base

      I've had this gut feeling that writing and posting a physical letter has a better chance of influencing reps than even calling. Bonus points if you can pull off cursive handwriting.

          If you want to influence a representative, just

          1. Show up at a campaign event dressed to the nines with a 10/10 smokin' hotty SO

          2. Introduce yourself as a C-level business executive looking to open a factory in the representative's district. Provide a very nice looking business card by way of your 10/10 smokin' hotty SO, who winks and flirts with the representative while passing on the info.

          3. Before you leave, ask the rep if they'd like to check out your Bugatti Veyron, which you just recently purchased and which you're hoping to display at a car dealership you plan to bring to the representative's district

          4. While leading the representative over to your car, mention that you're currently putting together a PAC and you wanted to know if the representative's campaign treasury secretary had some free time to consult.

          5. Swing open the door to the car and show the representative a $10k handle of whiskey in a bespoke silver case sitting on the passenger side seat.

          6. As he turns to get in, the-doohickey

    Americans believe that spam calling is the only legitimate form of violence.

    The script is an incredibly advanced suite of cutting edge cyber warfare malware that will make your representative's pacemaker overheat, boiling his heart the instant he answers the phone.
