That defeats the point. You want to get the attention of the people working at the desk of the congressman, not the people working in Cannon/Longworth/Rayburn/e

That defeats the point. You want to get the attention of the people working at the desk of the congressman, not the people working in Cannon/Longworth/Rayburn/etc. The people working in the congressman's office are the ones who actually have the working relationships with the elected officials (to the point where they can sometimes pressure them if they think that constituents are feeling a certain way, based on calls/letters).
