A small counter suggestion. I know we all tend to be introverted but...go visit your reps. Visit them in DC, visit them in their offices in your area. Most will be home this week for thanksgiving and almost all will be home over the holiday break. Email them to schedule a meeting or call. Make them explain this to your face.
I tried this and after five emails have meetings with my rep and both my senators scheduled less than a week out.
- jamestimmins 9y agoI had no idea this was possible. Good for you. That's awesome.
- mlazos 9y agoThis actually gives me a lot more faith in system than I previously had. That’s really good to know!
- jakebasile 9y agoThis is a great idea. I wasn't able to easily find scheduling contact information for John Cornyn, but my representative and other senator, Cruz, have an email published to get scheduled. I'll dig more for Cornyn tomorrow. If I do get on their calendars, I hope I can articulate my reasoning well. I doubt I'll be given much time.
- heurist 9y agoI've read that Cruz only takes meetings with representatives of formal groups.
- jakebasile 9y agoI'll find out soon enough!
- darkkindness 9y agoThe fact that you actually did this is really inspiring!
- avs733 9y agothanks. After wandering about capital hill all day I am completely exhausted.
