Text Resistbot at 50409 and have it write and send a letter to your representatives. All of them.

Just give it a news article and it’s AI whips it up for you to proof read.

Give it a try and make your voices heard.

But does it whip the llamas' ass?

I couldn't imagine a faster way to make our voices useless than to fill our representatives' inboxes with AI spam...

This service is the most dystopian thing I've seen in a while.

"You know what's gonna fix democracy? Reducing civic engagement to having AI generate letters based off AI-generated articles to send to our representatives, who will filter and summarize them using AI, and plug the input into the law-making AI! The downfall of democracy was humanity's capacity for independent thought!"

This is a bad idea to end all bad ideas.

Let's give them an excuse to close their means of communication to the people to "combat AI spam".

And what's best is they now have a new cell number for marketing they can then sell to companies!
