Reply #23: Yes. I have. And he is the majority leader of the Senate, so he damn well is my representative

Yes, I have done that - what has that to do with my calling today? It seems every time I post about a call or letter, someone comes along and gives a lecture of why that isn't effective or it is the wrong way or it isn't enough. Yes, I have engaged my reps directly in person, however, I don't have the ability to go to Nevada or Washington, so I called. As we ALL should...Don't give arguments against actions we can all take, it is this type of thing that discourages people from calling at all. Every call is a tiny drop of water. Shut the phone lines down and they willl take notice.

The Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader are positions that transcends district representation.

They have huge control over legislation that impacts all the people.

And, frankly, this issue goes far beyond the interests of any one state.
