In my state my representatives represent 750,000 people. Do you really think they care about what you or I have to say when we call? Do you really think they READ thousands of emails each day? They have staffers that do that, usually some airhead college kid trying to build a resume to go along with their useless political science degree.
The only place where representative government can truly function is at the local level where your City Council WILL listen to you if you push them hard enough. At the Federal level they don't give a shit because they know all they need is the endorsement of the political party they serve and the masses will vote for the party.
America's political system is a dismal failure. Thomas Jefferson was right when he surmised that America was too big to govern. It is. Too many people. Too many opinions. No consensus. NO POSSIBLE WAY TO REPRESENT ANYTHING.
I applaud your optimism. I really do, even if I do find it naive and mis placed.
She is 100% correct one letter being written is set to the side 10,000 different letters saying the same thing gets attention.
To many Americans have abdicated their responsibility in government to just showing up to vote if they even bother to vote at this point and cutting that tax check every year.
Thanks, PB I have used form letters already created for certain causes one such was the defense of marriage act the other was about the overall cost of Insurance.
Both efforts actually got voted on and passed and then the activist judges came in and nullified them.

The bias of the judicial system will remain until enough liberal and RINO judges attrition out and are replaced. The transformation of the USA will take time and lots of it. Until the 48% leftist numbskulls see the light and start voting sensibly, the situation is precarious. The judiciary is intended to be the most steadfast arm of the governance, and as such its duration will be the longest one to change. Patience!
Sidebar - The 2020 election "investigation" was an indication of how one-sided the judiciary had become. Four years of the Biden Mob has only increased the bias, as shown by the initial reaction of the judiciary to the Trump EO revolution.
I will acknowledge your point Ben. You make a good one. The problem with P.B. is she errupted into a cavalcade of insane insults, put downs and rantings rather than explain her position. Your explanation has merit and I appreciate your comment.
Good god, P.B., go take a class and learn how to grow a back bone! I never once resorted to calling you names like "dickhead" nor did I resort to any personal insults or attacks against you. All I did was rebuff your opinion to foment a healthy debate. You are weak and unable to defend your flawed position and as such resort to childish insults to defend your position because it deflects from the discussion at hand. This clearly indicates someone who has no business being on a comment board spouting off their opinions if they can't handle someone who, without insults, disagrees with them.
You're telling me to grow up when you are the one resorting to childish insults? Now that is interesting.
I'm done with you. Go pick some marigolds and have someone pat you on the head and tell you everything will be okay. Seems to be what you are looking for.

Your humble servant.
I believe you are a good and rational man.

You are certainly more than welcome. Good luck picking marigolds.
