    Yes.

    Do you think their job is to listen to constituents over lobbyists or their bosses? You are not important to them.

    If suddenly thousands of people are calling and complaining about something Trump is doing they’re going to go with what Trump wants.

      And why is this a reason to not make them miserable by relentlessly hounding them with demands to do the actual job they were elected to do?

          If you’re at the point of comparing the most powerful elected individuals in the country to minimum wage workers then we’re not having a reality based conversation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          If you don’t want to do anything nobody can make you want that, but when what you want is to tell everyone to not take action that starts to be counterproductive.

            My point is the person reading the emails and taking the calls isn’t the one you need to speak to it’s their boss who will never hear you.

            And please don’t think that counts as action, that’s cope. Action is what Luigi did.
