    I don’t know how many more emails I can send to my representatives. This has become a daily thing now.

        Unfortunately no. I think all reps now use a webform to get messages.

        Hmm. I wonder, I could bust out the webscaping until and create a script to automate that. I just had an idea of how I can contribute to the effort by creating something to automate an email campaign to reps.

          You definitely could! It wouldn’t even be that hard, and you could even do it entirely headless with python.

          If you want to get sophisticated, you could use random emails and variation within the email (or use AI but that’s gross), which will stop them from filtering it.

            That’s an interesting idea. My thought was that people could use this individually to send emails daily on their behalf… Not for me to flood a rep with fake mails. ACLU frequently has campaigns where a letter is a template with an area to add additional text. I was thinking of something like that. Just so.ething to help people write to their reps, because those web page forms are a PIA
