It took me several minutes to bring myself to make the call, but I managed to do it, told them Step 4 and gave my zip when they asked for it, and the person's voice sounded very kindly like you said. Thank you for this!

oof at living in DC which doesn't have a vote...

Seconding kkzero, if you've got phone anxiety it's really not so bad. Worth the 2 minutes it'll take you. Thanks for the guide!

The letter my rep sent basically cursed me out and said he supported KOSA with every fiber of his being. Oh, and he's a Democrat who campaigns on queer rights.

The fact this will effect those of us in other countries with no say or influence in the matter is awful too.

I wrote down the talking points on a notepad so I could look at them while I was on the phone and then I told them to a chilled-out intern. The call took 2 minutes.
