Your message will cover 1 bill in Congress
A Yale field experiment found legislators shown actual district opinion shifted their votes to match it. The ones kept in the dark? No relationship between constituent views and how they voted.
Offices log, sort, tag, and tally incoming contact, then brief the member. Constituent communications eat roughly a third of House staff resources. Your message gets counted.
92% of staff say individualized messages influence undecided lawmakers — versus 56% for form letters. Naming a specific bill with your own reasoning puts you in a different category entirely.
When offices don’t hear from constituents, they ask lobbyists instead. Not contacting your rep doesn’t leave the scale empty — it hands the weight to someone else.
