9. That's what I do.

More effective that writing a letter. I got the idea of using Zillow at an anti-tRump protest as a way to get zip codes and area codes for a particular state/district. It's super fast and easy and when they hear a real person it has an impact. Sometimes I get upset (like when the ACA was about to be killed) and emotional bit I think that makes it more personal.

My niece was on the staff of my Dem congressman and she told me that they DO keep track of the calls (like you said).
