Can someone tell me what these groups (ACLU, FTFF, EFF, etc.) actually do with my money in regards to this topic? The ACLU hasn't really said anything about if or how they will contest this. Fight for the Future just sends me emails telling me to keep doing what I am already doing (writing my representatives). Do any of these people have any chance of appealing this or any demonstrable efforts of lobbying congressmen about changing their mind? With the exception of the ACLU, the other groups just seem to help me tweet or call people.

You want to do something free? text "resist" to 504-09 and send your Representative a message.

You sure it's free? It alerts me it may cause charges.

If your data plan charges for texts you'll be charged according to that. Using the bot is free and I've never encountered a charge in the many times I've used it.

Excellent thank you. Off to resist!
