Diane Feinstein is a lost cause IMHO, she is one of Sheldon's mouthpieces. She is retiring, and seems to have forgotten who she is supposed to serve, in favor of those who will support her.

Diane Feinstein is a lost cause IMHO, she is one of Sheldon's mouthpieces. She is retiring, and seems to have forgotten who she is supposed to serve, in favor of those who will support her.

Yes, she's a very lost cause, but she still needs to hear from opponents, like us and her own state, which is seeking to move forward on poker. It may be a case where the best we can get is for her to be less vocal, but that would still be a welcome change.

She also needs to know she's not being seen positively for her actions here.

Both the emails sent.

For sure. The original company we used for letter sending changed their process for the worse. No idea why, but we chose a new company with a far more user-friendly system. Thanks for sending!

Does it really do any good to send Reps any correspondence if they are NOT MY REP?

Same question for Senators.....

 

[TheEngineer]

Does it really do any good to send Reps any correspondence if they are NOT MY REP?

Same question for Senators.....

Social media is fine, as it is by nature a medium beyond a district or state. Correspondence, OTOH, tends to work best for your own elected representatives. If you to send something outside your district/state, you may wish to try to find a way to tie yourself to the area (business, vacation property, visiting a few times per year, etc.).

Correspondence with lawmakers for whom you're not a constituent is better than not sending the letter, of course. I've sent plenty of emails to such lawmakers and did get some replies, including personal ones. Others hit me up with an automated reply regarding my not being a constituent. So, it's quite variable.

Thanks for taking action!
