I would recommend https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ for reaching out directly to your country's representatives.

I used it today to make a template, that I could then edit to fit my writing style, and send from my own email provider really easily, because the site also let's you copy the email addresses of your representatives in one click.
But the site will also let you send a pre-made message with no effort really needed from you. I just had some time and energy today, so went the extra mile.

I also really like how it tracks the stance of your representative, and you can read their response to the issue. Most of my country's representatives are currently on vacation, but I did get an answer back from one of them, which was pretty cool (Very informally written, with an included "Sent from my iPhone" signature, hahaha).

That website looks like it was designed in GeoCities.

Really? You must have a very rosy memory of what GeoCities sites looked like...

This looks like a regular static site generator theme.

99% sure it - or large parts of it - are AI generated.

But in this case it's the content that counts, not the artistry.

Light grey on pink is difficult to read , make the site accessible to blind too or partially sighted . Accessibility is important if we want to spread the word.

If lame aesthetics were a factor, SKG would be guilty too.
