Text to use for a call that doesn't collect zip code in the form

msg_intro:

"Hi, and welcome to the Trolling Effects call tool. In just a few moments we're going to connect you to your representative so you can tell them to support the Innovation Act when it comes for a vote on Wednesday. But first we need your zip code so we can lookup your representative."

msg_ask_zip:

"Enter your 6 digit zip code now."

msg_invalid_zip:

"Sorry, we couldn't recognize that zip code, please try again."

msg_call_block_intro:

"Okay, we're going to first connect you to each of your two senators, then to your representative in the house. Press * instead of hanging up after each call, and we'll connect you to the next person. Remember: tell them to vote for the Innovation Act and help curb patent trolls."

**Important note: **you can target calls however you want. If you want to target house reps first, then senators, or just house reps, or even just judiciary committee, change the text appropriately and let me know.

msg_between_thanks:

"Awesome! You're doing great. Now for the next call."

msg_rep_intro:

"We're now connecting you to {{name}}" Important note: You don't need to record msg_rep_intro, it will be read by a computer, but you can customize it if you want.

msg_final_thanks:

Thanks for taking the time to fight back against patent trolls! You're awesome. [or something like that]
