I've called, emailed, and mailed letters to my "Representative" Darin LaHood. All emails and letters go unanswered and his staff laughed and hung up on me when I called the last time. So instead of wasting my time and energy on appealing to him, I emailed the man that is running to unseat him: Paul Nolley.
Paul called me back, personally, THAT SAME NIGHT. We're working together to bring Paul to my little town in a series of meet-and-greets over the next year and a half, and hopefully foster some support for him in my little red area.
I'm someone that is concerned about integrity of future elections (or even having them at all), but I figure it's better to have a strong candidate with name recognition ready to go, than not to.
If you live in a red district, are sick of your representative's shit, and there's someone running to unseat them, reach out! They're chomping at the bit to get their name and face out there, and are likely to make the trip to meet people in places that politicians usually ignore.
