Have you heard about Cause Caller?
Cause Caller is a FREE tool that allows you to set up a list of officials to call on a particular cause, thus allowing anyone interested in pursuing that cause to use your list -- at absolutely no charge (even the calls are free, as they are completed over the internet).
Cause Caller uses open source technology to deliver on the promise of a participatory democracy by taking the hassle and difficulty out of organizing phone banks. Users of Cause Caller can create individual causes and associate new politicians to those causes.
Presently, almost all of America’s federal politicians (Congressional representatives, Senators, etc.) are in the database. State level politicians still need to be built into it, but you can add those yourself, and other officials as well (e.g., TX CPS, National GOP contacts, whatever officials are involved in your cause of interest).
Once you set up a cause...anyone can use that same list to make their own calls to those people. You set up a wiki with related information, including a script for people to use during their calls, so callers will have all the needed information right at their finger-- er, screen-tips.
A wiki for the cause of fighting Border Patrol Laptop Searches is already listed there as a cause, and you can add whatever cause you like.
Wanna call all the authorities involved in the FLDS issue?
How about calling members of the Maine GOP and asking why they reject the Constitution as the law of the land?
Perhaps you'd like to call every senator and representative and discuss the Homegrown Terrorism Act with them.
Now you can easily set it up yourself, and invite others to use your list to further your cause of interest! And remember, there is absolutely no charge to use Cause Caller: no charge to set up your cause, and all calls are placed over the internet at no cost.
There's a good overview on Cause Caller at BoingBoing, but of course you can also find out about it on the Cause Caller site -- there's a little demo video to watch and see how it works.
WE CAN MAKE REALLY GOOD USE OF THIS TOOL!!

To call Congress Critters
Hi there, all you people that want folks to call Congress Critters...have you checked this?
Those of you who want people to call CPS, various GOP organizations, etc. -- have you seen what this can do to add power to your efforts?
Seems like a pretty cool and useful tool to me.
bump-- thanks for the tip

My god this is astounding!
My god this is astounding! More POWER to the people!! We need to use it!
That's what I thought!
Thanks, Crickett, for noticing this post, and commenting. I put it up much earlier today day, but it received few nibbles of interest, which is very perplexing to me. This program seems to be "the ticket" to serve a great many of our needs!! How is this getting overlooked?...
Please help spread the word!
I agree! Maybe you should
I agree! Maybe you should change the title. This is Phanphuckingtastic if it works. We can call them ALL every day until they stop voting against their oaths of office. We can BUG them half to death about the Enumerated Powers Act. We can be HEARD..over and over. I gotta go sign up to do something around here..
Title Changed
Okay, Crickett, let's see if this new title helps. :)
