I don’t see the words “contact government agents.”

I’m also pretty sure when considering original intent, the Founders didn’t mean someone’s right to contact an overseeing body for simple things that don’t involve them taking something away from you.

“when considering original intent”

Original meaning controls, not intent. According to original meaning the right to petition for a redress of grievances refers to no more than petititioning, suing, and lobbying the government.
