Someone here at FR gave me a great idea regarding getting the message across to those who are assigned to doing our bidding in D.C.
Whenever I receive requests for money via mailers from the GOP, Senate or Congress members; instead of sending it to the junk mail pile.....I take the enclosed self-addressed and stamped envelope and write in marker across the letter that "No contributions will be made until our borders are closed, and the illegal situation is addressed", and send it back without a contribution. I probably send back about 4 or more of these per week. We have given from our business as well as personally. I would hope that if the bigger donors and businesses started closing their checkbooks unless this situation is addressed maybe those in charge would really get the message.
Hitting them in the campaign pocketbooks might be the only thing which works for most of them who are left on the wrong side. Letters, faxes, phone calls and opinion polls certainly don't seem to be making much of a dent.
