Frank Talk:
Frank Talk is an
automated service which enables
Members of Congress to communicate with their constituents almost
immediately via the telephone.
Frank Talk complies with Franking
Commission guidelines, and can be used in place of U.S. mail to
get important information to
- and from - constituents. Whether
informing voters of pending legislation, district meetings, urgent
issues or votes, Members
may use Frank Talk to get their
messages out within 24 hours. And unlike traditional mail franking,
Frank Talk enables constituents
to tell their representatives what
they think.
How does Frank Talk work?
Frank Talk pre-records a Member's
own voice using a custom script approved by the Franking Commission,
then automatically calls the strategically targeted constituents.
If warranted, Frank Talk can survey the constituents on the
spot about the Member's message or other issues. In as little
as 24 hours, a Member may identify an issue, record a message,
get it to the correct constituent groups, and receive feedback
on it.
