47 U.S.C. 223: Law to Silence Dissent

47 U.S.C. 223 was used in an instance that a constituent called Rep. John Garamendi’s (CA-10) office in Washington, D.C. The statute cited was not controlling since it only prohibits people from calling with the specific intent to harass. A constituent may voice their concerns with the intent of getting a representative to change their mind, not to harass a staff.
