Andy Kim wants everyone to call their reps

[sop]

2. It's a great idea to call/write one's elected representatives to voice opinions on legislation. I do it all the time.

My three representatives (two Republican senators and one Republican congressperson) apparently don't care what I think. The kids (they sound like young interns) answering the phones in their offices listen, thank me for my thoughts then hang up. They respond to my letters and emails by simply adding me to their mailing lists; I receive a lot of Republican campaign literature and constituent mailings. Nothing I say or write seems to sway my three elected representatives, they always vote lockstep with their party leadership.
