Give an example. Otherwise it's a post-hoc hand-waving justification. Also include how you meaningfully communicated with your representative about the issue (e.g. writing a complaint email about the popular news of the day doesn't count).
- RIMR 9y agoI wrote to my governor and my districts state reps about making Net Neutrality Washington State law after the FCC repealed those rules. My state is now planning to pass a state law, despite federal law prohibiting us from doing so. I didn't do that alone, but if nobody was paying attention to the news and doing their part, it likely wouldn't have happened.
