I've written my rep so many times and have gotten 0 response. He definitely doesn't rep anything but himself. He will get on Facebook and talk about being a constitutionalist and bashing big govt. But he votes for every tax increase and ignore every email I've sent. I thought I lt was me but couple buddies have emailed him too. 0 response too.While I am feeling the inflation pressures just like everyone else, I would like to comment on the question part of your post.
The representatives may be more responsive than we suspect. I just believe they are being forced by the wrong people. It is daily that many lefty, commie, perverse special interest groups are putting everything they have to have the taxpayers pick up the bill for their cause. Conservative people grumble, but lefties stand in their face and demand. Continually.
Saul Alinsky taught that constant, unrelenting badgering will wear down people who actually oppose you. They will eventually give you what you want trying to buy peace. The radicals then double down more.
Train hard men, your enemy is already training to overcome you.
