Just a quick note to add that this was built over the course of 5 hours by four developers as part of http://taskforce.is, which was pretty much assembled here on Hacker News.

Please take a few minutes to call. It's amazing how low conversion rates are on calling campaigns like this one - a factor of 100 lower than email asks - but this is really critical. We only have one day to make this happen.

A big thanks to Thomas Davis, Jens Nockert, and Beau Gunderson for building the site.



I just called.

A feature that would be really nice: A way for me to give them my email address and zip code and then get an email when vote results are posted with how my Representative voted.


That's a really good idea.


I would strongly recommend including an auto email form. Maybe not as powerful as a phone calll, but conversions will be much higher


"Form e-mails" to representatives are pretty much completely ignored, as I understand it. Does it really matter if "x" percent converted if it has zero effect anyway?


Best of luck and god speed with this initiative. Were I a US citizen, I would be calling my representative.
