So… I sometimes use https://5calls.org to call my representatives. I’ve never had a problem with it, it’s great. (Usually I get voicemail, but a couple of times I’ve gotten a polite aide of some sort.)

Today, I’m trying to call, because [gestures around], and my representivates’ phone numbers are extremely slow to come up, if they ever do at all. I’m wondering if the current shenanigans are resulting in an abnormally large number of people trying to do what I’m doing and 5calls is just under load. (Or maybe there’s a DDOS attack going on? That would be interesting.)

…

Ok, I finally got some numbers to come up by clicking on another issue, and I called, and, wow, their voicemail systems sound like they’re underwater (burble burble burble…). I get the feeling the call volume is through the roof today.

You can add to it. 🙂
