Do you have a good recommendation on how to change this pattern? I have had a difficult time figuring out something that would be a difference-maker. Thank you.

And that's why the system is broken. Get rid of lobbyists.

Your Representative and their staff should know your name when you call their office with your views and your requests. Speak to them concisely and with respect. Then, maybe they will listen to what you have to say.

My Senator @SenCapito replied to my concerns regarding protections for my LGTBQ child, access to healthcare by telling me President Trump picked a great Justice. Not one word about my concerns. She refuses to debate @Paulajean2020. Tired of public servants serving themselves only
