What approach are you taking when emailing Senators and Representatives? [View all]
I have emailed both of my Senators to urge them to vote for universal background checks. Because I live in a very red state and both Senators are Republicans, I did not make any mention of party affiliation in my emails. Although I really wanted to express outrage, I was afraid that would make it too easy for them to dismiss my request. I simply asked them to vote to require background checks and told them this issue is a priority for me and will be a determining factor when I cast my vote in the next election.
I'm getting ready to email some (Rand, Cruz, McConnell) who are planning to filibuster any gun legislation. Should I use the same tone? Sometimes I wonder if they ever hear a critical opinion. Maybe they should know that we find their positions outrageous.
Have your communications been emotional or restrained?
