I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Office Rep: Hello! this is the office for congressman Billy Bob. How May I help you?

Me: Hey my name is (Gov. name) from (residing city). I had some concerns.

Office Rep: Sure thing I can pass on a message!

Me: Are you familiar with this ongoing push for these online safety laws? 

Office Rep: Hmm...Is there a particular bill or law that it involves?

Me: A few actually! 

Office Rep: Go ahead!Me: the KIDS Act, Kids online safety act (KOSA), the Screen Act, Sammy's Law, and the App Store Accountability Act

Office Rep: Got it!

Me: I strongly oppose these laws and I urge Billy Bob to vote no when these bills are up for vote. They do nothing to actually protect children and are just a cover to suppress free speech. 

Also There's been a bipartisan push to end section 230. I think Section 230 should be protected since it's important for online free speech. I'm not a fan of this speed running of a surveillance state happening
right now. Have you noticed that?

Office Rep: (Chuckles) Okay, I have it all written down and I'll make sure Billy Bob gets the message. Thank you for calling!

Me: Thank you for listening.
