The power that you harness in your fingertips is incredible. Simply by focusing on an issue for a month or two and writing to your representative, even once can have powerful consequences.
Remember, that when writing to
your representative, try not to
make them the enemy. Use a
compassionate angle, otherwise
you will be ignored. And this
will also allow them to really
hear your point.

"The English people
believes itself to
be free; it is
gravely mistaken; it
is free only during
the election of
Members of
Parliament; as soon
as the Members are
elected, the people
is enslaved; it is
nothing. In the
brief moments of its
freedom, the English
people makes such a
use of that freedom
that it deserves to
lose it."
Jean-Jacques
Rousseau, political
philosopher

Your MP is obliged
to interact with you
There exists a Whips
office in the
British Parliament
that specifically
deals with MPs who
do not interact with
their constituents.
“People often say that, in a democracy, decisions
are made by a majority of the people. Of course,
that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority
of those who make themselves heard and
who vote - a very different thing.”
Walter H Judd,
US Congressman and Activist
