This is the reason why I don’t bust my ass phoning them.

They couldn’t care less what I think.

For a couple years, c. 2001, I had a "free" fax service at my business. I was limited to 6 per day. At the time I spent a couple hours a day reading the Congressional Record and the Federal Registry - Evelyn Wood style. If I found something interesting I would compose a letter, i.e.,

Dear congress critter,

I noticed your introduction of H. B. ###, read your speech, etc., and find myself in agreement, etc., etc., and so forth. Please consider adding XYZ if possible.

Best regards,

kitchen
flyover country
phone number

This went to the sponsor/speaker and copied to the pubbie leaders and my congressman and two senators. Six per day, four or five times a week, for a good year and a half. Conservatively, I estimate well over 2,000 faxes. I never received a response.

Not.

One.

I’ve seen them turn off their fax machines and main phone numbers, so with your input and what I have observed, it’s a total waste of time.

Sad really.

I want to respect this nation, and they are purposefully doing their best to make it so I can’t.

Or worst!
