There's also an alternate script if you want to talk with a Republican senator, and you don't feel they'll be swayed by the language in the linked site.

It's not supposed to. They want to use it to control and corrupt.

    The authors of the bill definitely want to do that. I think the people voting on it are a lot of times just sort of old and out of touch and have no idea what's what. But, they know about winning elections, and if a ton of people call in, their staff definitely keeps track of that and lets them know.

    Honestly, I'm not an expert but my understanding is that the argument for or against that you say doesn't really make a ton of difference. It's just the number of people that called that gets reported to them. But they do report the number and pay attention to that kind of thing.

    Wrong or not it is nice to know so I can send a letter and leave a message for my reps letting them know I'm against the bill and them voting to approve it.

    Is it? I only just now read the sidebar and saw no politics. Presumably the mods will weigh in if it should be forbidden, but I thought this would be kind of a multipartisan type of issue.
