Thanks. I'm glad this space is helpful. I'll had local level involvement to our list of posts. It's something I've been thinking about too.

As for prioritizing things to talk about with reps - I know what you mean. As a list-maker, my instinct is to write them all down so I can see them and then make one item the subject of each call or letter. I don't know if it would be more effective, but I feel like being short and specific will make it less likely to be dismissed as a lump.

Here's lots of encouragement for keeping up the phone calls and letters. I know it's hard, but for a Republican representative all the more important.
