You’re assuming that isn’t happening - it is.
Maybe I'm not getting around the site as much as I should, clicking in the right places. I've seen a smattering here and there of someone posting that they have contacted their Congressman and so forth. Haven't noted any threads with a heading like "CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN....!!" floating around - even looked under Activism/Chapters & Free Republic (News/Activism) - nope not there. Or maybe I've somehow missed them.
In addition, the fact is many in Congress and the President himself read and consider FreeRepublic when gauging conservative sentiment. You can bet they’ve taken note that “people are sincerely upset”.
Pro-active contact initiated by citizens is what gets the job done. Expecting posts on an internet site to equal that kind of pressure is a rather poor assumption and a projection of inadequacies.
Try not to project your own inadequacies so much; it’s not helpful.
LoL - speak for yourself. Being lectured by anonymous strangers over the internet who don't know a thing about me is always good for a laugh.
I just told you that many of us already are contacting our representatives. I know this for a fact.
You, on the other hand, assume everyone just sits behind a keyboard and complains. You know what they say about ‘assuming’.
And yes, those inside the Beltway (both parties) lurk on FR to get a feel for what the conservative base is thinking. If you think that doesn’t have an effect, you’re mistaken there as well.
Fact is, you’re wrong on several levels.
You need to get out more. But first, take two aspirin and get back to me in the morning.
