10. Tell the truth about you, then give your message

It's important to be honest about your name and location. Then leave your message. That works to influence Congresspeople.

In 2018 Democrats are going to take back one or both houses of Congress, and will then have subpoena power to publicly investigate. And in 2018 or 2020 Dems will control the White House, Senate, and House. At that point it will be important to keep to our ideals, stay honest, and do good work. The first step is staying honest. Fight hard, but fight honestly.
