You can now call your congressman through Facebook

Since the election last November, lawmakers have seen a deluge of phone calls from Americans weighing in on the Repbulicans' congressional agenda. Now, those floodwaters may rise even higher as Facebook rolls out new tools making it easier for users to contact their representatives.

The tools, which were being beta-tested but went live to all Facebook users Monday, could lead to a lot more calls from constituents who are pleading to be heard.

One of Facebook's new tools, Town Hall, allows you to find out who your local, state and federal representatives are. You can get to it by visiting facebook.com/townhall; by looking under the 'Explore” section of your news feed on desktop; or by looking in the menu of your Facebook app on your phone.

'Building a civically engaged community means building new tools to help people engage in a thoughtful and informed way,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Monday in a post. 'The starting point is knowing who represents you and how you can make your voice heard on the decisions that affect your life.”

After submitting your address - which Facebook says it will use only for civic engagement tools, not for advertising purposes - Town Hall pulls information about your elected officials. The data comes from their public Facebook pages or from a third-party database called Cicero, which tracks everything from who your U.S. senators and congressmen may be to your mayor and city council member.

In some cases, it can show you who your state attorney general is.

From there, Facebook will let you contact your elected representatives directly with a single click, either by calling the first number listed on the official's Facebook page - if you're on the social network's mobile app - or by sending an email or a Facebook message.
