I’m ready for my Meet the Press appearance, Chuck.

Yes, your messages will be counted.

My volunteers have talked to Congressional staffers and the Congressional Management Foundation about how to best to be heard:

According to a 2015 C.M.F. survey of almost two hundred senior congressional staffers, when it comes to influencing a lawmaker’s opinion, personalized e-mails, personalized letters, and editorials in local newspapers all beat out the telephone. …phone calls are a better way of contacting lawmakers, not because they get taken more seriously but because they take up more time—thereby occupying staff, obstructing business as usual, and attracting media attention. —Kathryn Schultz, The New Yorker

So keep it personal, unscripted, and be persistent. Here are a few users who’ve gotten letters back or read more frequently asked questions.
