[QUOTE="farmerbyron, post: 2720390, member: 4953"] L Ya, I definitely left a lot of details out. The post was long enough as is without getting into the nitty gritty of Ag policy. Actually it sounded like Rep Mullin may have been a shooter. He kind of mentioned the M855 ban in the context of many of these reps don't know what the hell they are voting on. There is no doubt our voice is important and actually it is kind of weird they don't get more correspondence than they do. I know personally I will not hesitate to call any one of their offices with an issue. Looked to me that a phone call may be the most effective and immediate form of communicating with your rep. Unfortunately I missed both the NSA and CIA HQ. Since we had to come back early I missed the National Archives and one Smithsonian museum. Pretty bummed about that. Will have to go back some time with the kids just to see everything. I will definitely pick a different time of year though. That weather sucked. I will add though that for my particular group of citizens, our reps are doing what they can to help us out. Most every concern we brought up was something our reps were already working on or had the same understanding that we did. Really felt like it could have been more productive to talk to some of these reps from other states that can't even spell farm, much less know how their policies effect us. The only exception to this would be giving the president trade promotion authority to help broker trade agreements but I understand where they are coming from with their lack of trust in the current administration.
