Until then just keep emailing the legislative offices I wasted some pixels, e-mailing one of my Senators. Did, eventually, receive a reply, which had nothing to do with what I had written about.
At one time, I had a Congressman, that I e-mailed two or three times. The reply would actually have a first paragraph that addressed what I wrote about, at the head of the form letter body of the reply. My venting got me on his list to be consulted tho. I can recall a couple of times receiving a robocall from him, inviting my input. One of those invites was in 2008. when the price of gas soared, and there was chatter about suspending the gas tax, to keep the price to the consumer down. I called his office, as the robocall directed, and told the guy how wrong headed it was, because that would take more money away from repairing Michigan's notoriously underfunded and dilapidated roads.
He lost his seat, when his staffers faked signatures on his petition to stand for another term. Actually sort of liked that guy.
Thaddeus McCotter
After ending his presidential campaign, McCotter decided to run again for his seat in Congress, but he failed to qualify for the 2012 Republican primary in his congressional district after most of his petition signatures were rejected as invalid. McCotter himself was not suspected of wrongdoing, though several of his staffers were charged with duplicating signatures and other electoral crimes, and some convicted. McCotter later sued some of the perpetrators for damage to his reputation, but fallout from the ensuing scandal resulted in McCotter's resignation from Congress in July 2012https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaddeus_McCotterSteve
