It's a brief post out Sunday evening that provides literacy leaders with:
- A professional strategy
- A personal tip
- A quote + a joke for your own communications

What do you say when you call?
I am starting to just laugh….. I don’t know what else to do????
I was told by the person answering my congressman’s phones that senators phones are full, so email. Calls are always better but I email if nothing else
5 calls app makes it so easy
Leaving messages with all my congressional rep today…. In my fury, I Even read the map wrong and contacted the wrong one. (But i fixed it)
#workedupbuttryingtosomething

Thank you for sharing this…. We need all the hope we can get.
