None of us believe that one call from one person makes all the difference. As Bernie says it is mobilizing that makes the difference. When I was working in an Iowa Congressman's office in the 70s we considered one call from a caller to be equal to 40 calls. Not too long ago I heard that it is one call = 400 calls from people who do not bother to call in but think the same way.
Plus when you are known personally you are more likely to get through. I have been an advocate for persons with developmental disabilities for many years. My congress people both on the state and federal level knew who I am and that I know what I am talking about is from a personal level.
