- zmj 15y agoEmail is not a good way to reach your Congressman. They get too much of it to address, and most of it is automated. Call, send a letter, or visit in person.
- megamark16 15y agoI just called mine. You should too.
- KleinmanB 15y agoBe it call, email letter or in person. Volume is the key.
- knieveltech 15y ago4) Watch as nothing happens.
- KleinmanB 15y agoIf you hit them where they live (personal Emil addresses and public facing forums) at least they will have to respond. These people are elected to represent the public if they aren't responding during their normal work day, we have a right to pester them until they respond.
- pavel_lishin 15y ago> at least they will have to respond. No, they won't.
- seagreen 15y agoDon't get sucked into defeatism. The system is designed to be able to ignore the average person, sure, but here's the thing: you're not the average person. Be smart, be motivated, and figure out how things actually work. Then apply the maximum amount of force to the place it can do the most good. I'm not sure that place is actually phone calls, but there's a reason phone calls are suggested so often. They do work. You might be able to find something better though and if you do let us know. Edit: Well that was dumb. I replied from memory without reading the thread again. I totally agree about email.

- jbooth 15y agoI believe they need your name, address and occupation for their records to take the donation. There are exemptions for donations of less than 50 bucks but I'm not sure which circumstances they're valid in.
