Unless you're worth more than $500M, you're wasting your time. (And on this forum, hey, maybe you hit the startup vestment goldmine, and actually are!) Years ago, when the Slashdot/Reddit crowd got up in arms about some other terrible law, I actually took the time to look up my Senators' numbers, and call their offices. The aides I talked to acted like I was an insurance telemarketer, and wouldn't/couldn't even tell me their positions on the bill. Needless to say, I became disillusioned with the process. I've heard a lot of people say that "if enough people bug them," but it's simply not true. Unless you're a campaign donor, and writing checks large enough to stick out from the crowd, you literally don't exist in the US law-making process. I'm sorry, but you just don't.
