Someone I know who is politically active recently told me that letter writing is actually very effective. They work on some meme where they presume that for every letter they receive, they presume it represents the opinion of 100,000 other people who don’t bother to write letters.
I forgot what he called it, but I thought that was very interesting.
And if you do not remember the fallout over HR^, the bill that would have heavily regulated homeschooling and the resulting outcry that happened, people’s opinion is important and does matter.
The Battle of HR6.

Ping to the homeschool list for that history plus, if this happens, it WILL affect homeschooling which I know depends heavily on internet resources.
Right! Or should I say ‘Write!’
Yes, writing letters by hand is more compelling than a phone call. That has been said by congressional staffers.
God bless you, metmom!
Great to ‘hear’ from you.
FRegards ....
I hear that they hate it when the phones ring off the hooks too.
I remember HR 6 very well. We were active and homeschooling at that time!

Perhaps a postcard campaign could be initiated too?
