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.
