Tumblr created a page which allowed anyone to be instantly connected to their House Representative, here's the landing page they used to take request for calls http://www.tumblr.com/protect-the-net

They also censored content on users dashboard e.g http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/sopatumb...

A little irony here: My work's content filtering app blocks this (http://www.tumblr.com/protect-the-net) pages' content.

Nope apparently they used http://www.mobilecommons.com/

Although you could probably swap that with Tropo / Twillio etc
