Mass Dissent – Easily send a letter to U.S. Congress representatives
Hi HN! I just launched the MVP of Mass Dissent, a website that provides an easy way to send a short message as physical mail to your representatives in the U.S. Congress. The site reduces the effort required to send a letter to an elected official, hopefully resulting in more people writing to their representatives regarding the issues they care about. Originally, the idea was to allow users to select Tweets to print onto a postcard that would be sent to their representatives. However, last fall the Twitter OAuth API stopped working (for me at least), so I decided to pivot slightly to…
