Yeah, I don't have direct emails for either of my Senators' staffers (though I'm on a "wait, didn't I talk to you yesterday?" "Yeah, that was me, and I'm back!" sort of first-name basis with a couple of their staffers by now, lol) but I'm in a blue district in a red state which I suspect was what motivated my House rep's local staffer to give me an email address.
And, NGL, as a fellow liberal in a red state... I seriously envy you Rand Paul, who at least has been known to jump the aisle on actual votes (as opposed to talking big and then voting party line--- I am looking at you, Marco Rubio!). I suspect you might actually get somewhere on some issues at least (civil liberties!) with Paul. McConnell... yeah, not so much. Though if it makes you feel any better about not being able to get through, I've had a heck of a time on and off getting through to my Senators and neither of them are anything like that prominent on the national level, so I think they're all hitting critical mass, which is saying something.
You're more than welcome! And, oh, yay, American Girls dolls! And, heh, I grew up on the Jean Fritz American-history kids' books before that, too. Though I'm nowhere near what I suspect your knowledge base is.
