Seamless
This app is so helpful. It assists novices in civic involvement and makes having your voice heard with your representatives a tangible option. I had my reps already in my contacts but having the issues broken down and the scripts provided to assist in voicing your concerns makes the conversations with staffers and reps seamless. And for a working mom, ease of use makes it easy for someone like me who was feeling isolated from the civic conversation. Thank you so much. I've recommended it to everyone I know.

5Calls is easy to use
I had been using a different service to call Congress since the election, but it was just one call, and I didn't always feel enthusiastic about the issue. Also, it was hard to keep track of what to say because it's a short text and a voicemail-- my mind would go blank when I called. Then I found 5Calls, the background info and a script for the call were all there on my phone screen. I still say what I want to, but the script helps me keep on task. Plus, if I get a busy signal, there's an easy way to get the other office numbers. I identified a few issues I cared about and my first time using, I made 7 calls. It's great.

A great political action tool
In this time of political chaos, with so many issues coming at us daily, this app makes it easy for the user to choose from a list of issues, get background information about each issue and phone numbers for the appropriate people in government to call, based on where you live. It also gives precise House or Senate bill numbers, when appropriate, so that you can be clear when you call about the exact piece of legislation that you're commenting on.
You then note whether you made contact, left a voicemail or couldn't get through. I use this app frequently and recommend it.

I use it every day
This app does not only facilitate quick and easy phone conversations with the offices of my members of congress, it also provides me with information to use when writing faxes and post cards. I hate making phone calls and 5Calls found a way to help me get over that and make my 5 calls per day!
Great idea!
America needs active citizens more than ever now and this app is a great way to do that! I use it at least once a week to contact my local representatives. I do notice that it no longer includes my congressional representative, only Senators. Why is that? Can you fix?
Also an independent investigation of Russia's interference in the 2016 election is no longer one of the issues. Any plans to put this issue back in the app? It's a pretty important one seeing as that is what got us in this political mess to begin with.
