Pick up the Phone
|
If you've never called an elected offical before, don't be scared. You (might) know their name, so look up their number. And then call. If you've never called an elected offical before, don't be scared. These representatives hire people to be courteous when they answer the phone (what a job!). Feel free to speak your mind about a current issue in America or legislation in committee or anything else that gets under your skin. If you still don't want to call, those who usually rub elbows with D.C. types have said that 95% of all hand-written letters reach the congressperson's desk. Not bad for some writer's cramp and a stamp.
