Calling your reps in a red state is a waste of time because Republicans are cowards and just chicken out like their Lord and savor El taco.

They count their calls and keep track of how many support and how many oppose. It's good to take them out of their bubble.

They don't care ImGary Peters sent me a boiler plate response last week from an email I sent in February Slotkin and John James respond with boiler plate if they respond at all They can count all they want but they certainly aren't listening or changing their stance based on constituent feedback

I worked on the Hill (House side) for 30 years. Members really do pay attention to phone calls and letters, especially from people who live in their Districts. They pay even more attention when constituents visit their District offices.

Not anymore

You may be confused by Members’ tendency to respond to constituent communications with form letters. They don’t have time for anything else. That doesn’t mean that Members don’t know when people are upset about an issue.

We'll just disagree here It's not like it used to be

Robert Reich, Heather Cox Richardson, and the thousands of people who liked this video disagree with you.

Thank you for trying to talk to those people who are angry and won’t listen. I know too that they do notice when they are overwhelmed with phone calls. Form letters are a natural part of any office these days.

Funny In the old days I'd get a typewritten letter signed sealed and stamped in the mail :opeiu

In the old days, Members’ offices weren’t bombarded by thousands of email & website communications every day. Also, you never received a stamped letter from a Member of Congress because of the congressional franking privilege. The envelope had the Member’s signature, instead of a stamp.

I worked on the hill as well. That was then, this is now. They dont care what we think unless money is attached— big money.

DM me some BTC

Lots of GOP dont even believe what they’re doing. But Trump/MAGA is the loudest voice. Thats what a lot of this is. WE must become the loudest voices
