The House and Senate may have left Washington DC for their summer recess, but nobody else is resting! Don’t forget that you can still reach your representatives at their district offices too.

With so much important legislation being debated this summer, it’s critical that your constituents and supporters have their voices heard. One of the most effective ways to drive phone calls is with a call-to-action via SMS. We all know that response rates drop off with each extra step a user has to go through to connect to their representative. This is why Mobile Commons has always been able automatically route callers directly to their Senator or Congressperson without going through the switchboard. Because every caller in our database is geo-located, we already know the congressional district of the caller as soon as they get on the phone.

When setting up a legislative call campaign, you should always think about exactly where you want your calls to go. Is the senate in session? Or are they home for recess. With our tools, it’s easy to automatically route callers directly to their legislator’s capitol office, to any of their district offices, or just connect them to any available office we can find.
