    Good luck with that, your voice is going to be drowned out by all the companies masquerading as “people” whom they really represent.

      Taking the time to get in touch with representatives at all levels of government is just good citizenship.

      Sure, there are lobbyists. But there’s me too. We can’t expect to enjoy a civilized society unless we put in the effort.

        Having done this before and being told to basically get stuffed from one of their underlings I have zero faith in it. It’s basically just another token thing that’s about as useful as “thoughts & prayers” for the most part.

            I don’t mean they literally told me to get stuffed. They won’t personally take your call nor read your letter. You might get lucky and they’ll let you physically come into their office but that’s about as far as you’ll get.
