HOW TO MAKE THEM LISTEN Here’s some great info from @editoremilye Twitter thread. A former Congressional staffer about how to actually get politicians to listen. "I worked for Congress for 6 years, and here's what I learned about how they listen to constituents": First, Tweeting or writing on Facebook is largely ineffective. Second, writing a letter to the district office (state) is better than sending an email or writing a letter to DC. But, the most effective thing is to actually CALL them on the Phone. At their district (state) office. They Have To Talk To You There. https://twitter.com/editorem.../status/797243585305321474... #getinvolved #makeadifference #localpolitics #localpoliticsmatter
