Training · Contacting Congress

Contacting your senators & congressman is easy — we write it for you

This is the essence of MOGA: you shadow-vote on a bill, and we auto-generate the message to your representative based on exactly how you voted. You copy it, paste it into their official contact form, and your position lands in their office backed by verified vote totals from your entire district and state.

1. Cast your shadow vote

On any active bill, vote Yea, Nay, or Abstain. Your vote tells MOGA exactly what position you want your representative to hear.

2. Click “Contact my reps”

MOGA instantly auto-generates a complete, professional message: your verified district, the bill number and title, your position, and a clear ask — “I urge you to vote YES/NO on this bill.” No writing required.

3. Copy, paste, send

Review or edit the message, then copy it or open it in your email app. Members of Congress don't accept direct email, so paste the text into your representative's official website contact form — we link you straight to the House, Senate, or state legislator finder.

4. Watch the totals add up

MOGA tabulates shadow-vote totals per bill across every congressional district and senatorial state. Your message isn't just one voice — it's backed by verified, district-level constituent data your representative can be held to.

A sample auto-generated message

Real text MOGA generates the moment you click “Contact my reps” — personalized with your name, address, district, bill, and vote:

Dear Representative, As your constituent in NC-3 (Congressional District), I support H.R. 8800 — "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027". I urge you to vote YES on this bill. This position was recorded through Make Our Government Accountable (MOGA), a verified-voter civic platform. I would appreciate a response outlining your position on this legislation. Sincerely, Jane Voter 123 Main Street, Greenville, NC, 27834

Vote totals by district & state — the essence of MOGA

Every shadow vote from a verified voter rolls up into per-bill totals for each congressional district and senatorial state. When you contact your representative, your message carries the weight of your whole district's verified position.

By congressional district

House bills are tabulated district by district, so your congressman sees exactly how NC-3 — not the nation — wants them to vote.

By senatorial state

Senate bills are tabulated state by state, giving both of your senators the verified position of every voter they represent.

Verified, not anonymous

Only verified voters count, so the totals are credible constituent data — not an internet poll anyone can stuff.

Frequently asked questions

What does the auto-generated message say?+

It addresses your representative, states that you are a verified constituent in their district, names the bill and your position (Yea, Nay, or Abstain), includes a plain-language summary of the bill, and asks them to vote accordingly. It also notes that your position was recorded through MOGA, a verified-voter civic platform.

Why do I paste it into a contact form instead of emailing directly?+

Members of Congress and most state legislators do not accept direct email from the public. Their official website contact forms are the fastest verified channel — and MOGA links you straight to the right finder for the House, Senate, or your state legislature.

What are district and state vote totals?+

For every bill, MOGA aggregates shadow votes from verified voters and breaks the results down by congressional district (House bills) and by state (Senate bills). This lets you — and your representative — see exactly where the district stands before the official floor vote.
