...whether Dem or not. They need to hear from us, individually and as part of groups like ACLU, AARP.

I am using email but one day I will work up to the telephone. based on stuff I've read here and reddit I believe that a coordinator decides which staffer gets to tabulate responses and bring the totals to the Congress person.

We might produce the proverbial butterfly effect (politically)and make a difference or not but we won't know unless we try. Email and phone is inexpensive these days. Congress people are the only one we get to vote for now. Maybe the input to nudge them and see reason.

(Off soapbox now)
