Guys, girls, people - NES is OUR echo chamber.
Politicians are scumbags for the most part. Their allegiance is to themselves, to getting elected and staying elected. That means that they need votes. A less cynical view and the one that they present is that they CARE what the voters in their district want. Either way you slice it, they take polls to find out what their voters want so that their voters continue to put them in office.
I've read some articles over the years that show incredible numbers of voters behind every single person that contacts their senator / congress-critter. IOW, for every letter/email that they receive, there are X number of voters who feel the same way as the person who reached out to them. That's why an organized campaign can have a disproportionate affect - and that's why Bloomturd's winning.
So - take five minutes out of your gdmn busy schedule and WRITE your senator. Even if you feel it's pointless. It isn't pointless, and later on you're not saying "I could have and I didn't". It's five minutes, if that - and doesn't even cost you the price of a stamp.
