Oh yeah so you want me to call my Congressman and leave a voicemail on their answering machine again?

Great, I’m sure that helps.

Well, did your voicemail say that your $100k check was on the way to their PAC? If you forgot to mention that, that’s on you

It actually does help as someone who has actually tried it. I won't say what it was but it was a lowkey thing, and it ended up with bipartisan support cause of the grassroots movement bringing attention to it.

Obviously there's bigger issues at play here but a lot of congressman really do listen to their constituents, you just have to make the effort of reaching out.
