<script src="https://june11.battleforthenet.com/widget.js" async></script>

You can change the positioning and do some customization via the BFTN_WIDGET_OPTIONS described below.

If you have any problems or questions regarding the widget, please submit an issue.

How it works

Add this widget to your site to display the following message at the bottom right (or left) side of the screen:

Clicking the message will open up this form, allowing visitors to send a letter to congress without leaving your site:

The widget is designed to appear once per user, per device, per day, but can be configured to display at a different interval. If you'd like to force it to show up on your page for testing, reload the page with #ALWAYS_SHOW_WIDGET at the end of the URL.

Please take a look at widget.js if you want to see exactly what you're embedding on your page.

The widget is compatible with Firefox, Chrome (desktop and mobile), Safari (desktop and mobile), Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer 11.
