Resistbot is crazy slow today.

I wonder if it is getting swamped today.

Hopefully that is a great sign that people are trying to make their voices heard.

you text resist to 50409 it asks you for some info about yourself then lets you send messages to all of your reps by texting the bot which then forwards your message to your reps through email.

Pretty slick but today it is slow as molasses.
