Excellent ... but incomplete!
Wow 5 Calls is a fantastic app but I have one big beef: as of this writing it’s missing perhaps the most important issue in the “Foreign Affairs” section which (in my opinion) should be the “Hong Kong Human Rights & Democracy Act of 2019” ... The people of Hong Kong were promised autonomy but the Chinese have reneged on their promise and are in the process of taking power away from the citizens. The Hong Kong Human Rights & Democracy Act of 2019 will help reinforce the rights of the people to choose their own politics leaders and protect their human rights. I strongly encourage 5 Calls to take up this issue as this is a pivotal moment in the global pro-democracy movement. This is THE issue of greatest importance from the standpoint of global democracy and I ask everyone to help in voicing your support. Thank you guys, and keep up the good work!

Great tool to be heard
Very useful and efficient. It would be nice to be able to pre-edit the suggested scripts, but using those is optional anyway. You still get auto-dialing of your specific lawmakers, which is a big help. (Tip: zip codes and auto-location stopped working for me. Entering a full street address works, though.) The issues and scripts are frequently updated, offering a wide range of topics that centrists and progressives will want to support. Only the farthest-right lunatic fringe are likely to object to the reasonable facts and issues this app contains. It does contain certain issues I care less about than others—which is why you pick and choose what’s worth your call. Don’t forget to tap “More Issues” to see all the current offerings.

Priceless aid to exercise our rights
As a voter who never knew how to speak up for issues that matter to me, I’m elated to find this app. It brings upcoming legislation to my attention, supplies the content and context for each one (plus links to further background), then provides a script that I can use verbatim or customize to my particular views. The cherry on top is the name and phone number of my representative right there at the top of the script and even the details for how to return to the script after placing the call. All that’s missing is the gumption I needed to overcome my fear of embarrassing myself by stumbling through it. Baby steps—I left voicemails. No excuse now for failing to make my voice heard. Hop on the bandwagon and do likewise!
