I think it's interesting that there are ~200k Twitter/Facebook shares at the time of this comment, but less than 10k calls/emails. The message seems to be, "I think contacting legislators is a great idea! I hope some of my friends do that.."
Chiming in as one of the developers, these share totals are the total from when the campaign first started. The tools for calling/emailing/petitioning have only been active for two or so hours.
Ah, got it. Thanks for the explanation and good luck with the campaign.
It is currently 4:27 AM on the east coast of the US. Most Americans are sleeping at the moment, and I doubt congressional offices are open.
Afaik NSA is/was gathering information worldwide.
True, but as congresspeople are elected by the people of the US they would only be keen on hearing from them (well, that's the idea at least - in reality they don't seem to worry a lot about what a small but informed contingent cares about)
Indeed: they only take calls from their own constituents. I, as an Oregonian, will be ignored if I call a representative, from, say, Iowa.
Some congressman/senators are busier at night than during the day ;)
