the unexpected thing about Talking To Your Representatives is that it can actually work, if enough people are similarly mad about the same thing. you won’t get the elected on the phone. but they will hear about it from their annoyed staff, who might not have time to do anything else
I'll give it another go. Last time I tried talking to my reps, all that happened was they ignored me, aside from putting me on their mailing lists, so now I get all these notices about who they're doing fucked up shit, because KY politics is like 90% republicans.
