Update on Salsa Service

At approximately 12:35 PM EST, we experienced an issue with one of our load balancers that resulted in intermittent connectivity issues for most users.  We quickly realized the issue and brought additional resources online.  Users may have noticed errors and connectivity issues for as much as 30 minutes, though the issue itself was isolated quickly and has been resolved.  All Salsa pages and logins are functioning properly at this time.

More Ways to Get Your Actions Noticed

We've been talking a lot at Salsa about Advocacy campaigns, and the best way to communicate your issues with Members of Congress and others in office. Recently, a study was published on how Congress communicates with their constituents. The study itself was published online and you can view the results here, or just take a peek at a few key findings. Here are a few suggestions from the results of the study:

Unsurprisingly, in-person visits are the most influential way to communicate with Members of Congress. The best way to visit isn't by just showing up. Give the office a call and schedule a visit in advance. You will be more likely to talk with Congressperson, but speaking with a staff member is also very helpful. As a campaign manager, you can encourage volunteers in various districts to schedule meetings with their Members of Congress. It's best to call the office to schedule a meeting. Phone numbers can be found on congressional websites: use the lookups on house.gov and senate.gov.
