We HAVE to continue to let them know we understand the process, that no bill can be brought forth that could reconcile with the Senate bill. No bill, it's not necessary, most US voters don't want this.
Our guy's staff has been very helpful, I have to say, at this point I believe them. It's been encouraging.
Trust but verify. It's why I continue to call, and continue to write.
What’s scary is that in the past when I called my congressman’s office, I was able to talk directly to staffers who knew something about the issue. Now I am getting “We’ll contact you” (no doubt a form letter composed by an intern). The staffer said, “When you are dealing with millions of people...” I don’t believe that millions of people called their office.
Who knows. Maybe I just called at a bad time. Or maybe my congressman (or his staff)has no particular interest in my knowing what he is doing, how he will vote.
I’ll keep trying. I don’t like facebook and twitter, but I have been trying to use those too. I found another constituent on twitter who seems to agree with me about amnesty. Maybe we can join forces.
