Resistbot sends directly to members of Congress, so it is a means of sending your own letter. But by and large the hierarchy of importance is:
-personal meetings
-phone calls
-snail mail letter (individual)
-email message (individual)
-snail mail letter (canned)
-email message (canned)
-online petition, social media, etc
Personally I like Resistbot a lot because it enables us to post scripts in an easily retrievable place and, frankly, because it's good to know folks are doing the ask. But folks should feel absolutely free to make that language a jumping off point for their own messages, and they will probably get a slight effectiveness bonus if they do.
I appreciate this so much! I am in the process of putting together a local SURJ E letter to folks about taking action. I would like to use your words with attribution as a way to kick off that letter. Hoping that’s OK.
I wrote to Sen, Cassidy yesterday from Colorado as a registered Independent, and retired RN, MPH US Army Reserves medical officer, thanked him forces work with Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns, and emphasized that RKK Jr. was totally unfit and unqualified to be involved in public health. You can write to an one I congress by googling their name and get an email address.
Hi Joe, I have what may be a naive question. Do you find resistbot effective vs. sending our own letters?

THANK YOU for taking the time to answer my question. This is super helpful. Posting this on BLUESKY.
Happy to help!
I can't find a good tariff resistbot. Do you know of one?
I have not yet, but I'm on the lookout - we may end up producing one of our own, too
I haven't done tariff yet either, but this seemed more urgent

I feel like I'm leaving the same comment every other night: Thank you!
We appreciate it every time!
