<p>[quote user="CMStPnP"]</p> <div class="quote-header"> </div> <blockquote class="quote"> <div class="quote-user">Sam1</div> <div class="quote-content">How do we know that you talked to your senator three times over the last year? Who is your senator? How did you talk with him or her, i.e. face to face, email, telephone, etc.? Where is the independent verification of your claim? Also, what legislation, if any, has your senator proposed as a result of your input? </div> </blockquote> <div class="quote-footer">Ha-ha, I think Sam ticked off most of the Congressional representatives for Texas and they put her on ignore.</div> <p>It depends on what your issue is and how many times you have contacted them in the past. I have no problem getting either Texas Senators staff to look at an issue. If your repeatedly bothering them over and over again about the same issue that they felt they have responded to in the past. Of course they are going to ignore you and move on to other constituents.</p> <p>Same is true of Wisconsin, when I lived there. No problem with getting help from either Senator or for that matter Rep Sensenbrenner whom I have met with more than once during his town hall sessions when I was living in Wisconsin. [/quote]</p> <p>Since you don't know me or my contact history with city, state or national officials, how did you conclude that I must have ticked-off most of the Texas Congressional Representatives? </p> <p>The Texas Congressional delegation is 36 strong. I have just one representative. It would be pretty hard to tick off most of them. The only contact that I have had is with my current representative's staff. </p> <p>The question was contacting a U.S. senator. Getting with the staff is another matter. So too is meeting a senator or any politician in a meet and greet session, i.e. town hall meeting, etc.</p> <p>Your claims cannot be verified.</p>
