One more thing is, if your rep. responds, it will be a form letter and might include an envelope for you to donate!
Most all them do not respond with the specifics in your letter because they don't read it.
If it is read at all, it is done so by staff not by your rep. and answered by staff.
My main point to you is, if you're rep. (House or Senator) voted to approve that abomination, they care nothing about the people they were elected to serve!
They're only now mad as hell that you and other voters are watching their votes and what is included in these bills, that you and other peons are now aware that they do NOT represent the people but to Big Government!
If our Rep.’s realize they are likely to be voted out, they will care, and if they don’t, they get voted out...
Obviously, “staff” read most of the letters. But, even then, the few pols I’ve known would know if a big influx of letters was coming in 10:1 against a vote they had taken.
Maybe better would be a letter to the Rep., and copy it to a prominent newspaper in the area. Call local political talk shows. Or if one has time (unfortunately I’m swamped with “parents care”) and a little money, start a website that “watches” your local Rep., and advertise it in local papers.
