GovTrack.us VS ResistBot

Ya'll spend your time focusing on your 2minutes of daily republican hate on reddit without even knowing. Go on govtrack.us and pick any random republican and look. Also conservative =/= republican. Here I just picked Allen Rick from GA. Look at all of his Trans genocide bills. Source: 11 months ago

If you are going to read the post, I suggest finding some AP correspondents that dont use Adjectives. Or temper the posts articles, with news of an equal timbre but opposite view. So you can hold them to a standard. And start digging into govtrack.us read these bills all the way back to their origins. Who wrote them, even compare old versions to see whats changed.

This is a map from govtrack.us. Each hex represents a US Representative. I think the hex represents MI-1 pretty well. Source: over 1 year ago

However, neither bill appears to have passed either the house or the senate, according to govtrack.us, and I cannot find a text of the authorization bill that actually passed congress this month. Source: over 1 year ago

I recommend r/watchingcongress as a good aggregator to alert you when new things are introduced. They link to the govtrack.us site, which pulls its data directly from the Senate and House back-ends. You can set an account up on GovTrack and set up email updates for bills that you are tracking. Source: over 1 year ago

Contact your representative and two senators using Resistbot, Democracy.io, or manually. And ask other people to do so as well. Sure, it’s minuscule, but that’s the main tool we’ve got afaik. Source: 5 months ago

I discovered Resistbot a few years ago and have since contacted government representatives hundreds of times - it makes the process so easy. I do it through Facebook messenger. There's also a "trending" feature where I can see the hot topics of the day in between major events like the issue 2 votes. Source: 5 months ago

You can also use something like https://resist.bot to send messages to both at the same time. Source: 5 months ago

There are 43 comments so far. I was expecting thousands of comments. Comments can be with your name, company name, or anonymous. There's no required info you need to give other than the comment, no account required. Submitting a comment takes 'time to write comment + 5 seconds' - it was very easy. The comments have been open for 58 days, and they close in 20 days. Side note: Which of our reps should we call about... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
