[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a little disappointed by how few proactive replies there have been. Rather than debate the merits or failures of our current DC Rep, can we refocus on what we CAN do? I like the ideas mentioned above about calling ranking members of committees and/or putting together a phone tree of people you know in other states who will call on your behalf. Those seem like effective options. I won't lie, I've gone one step further and decided to make my childhood district my adopted district, calling everyone who would have been my representative if I still lived there. My cell phone still has that area code and my mom still lives in the house I grew up in, so why not? I know this isn't an option for everyone, but maybe you can find a willing collaborator who'll let you call in on their behalf. [/quote] Well since the original post specifically asked about EHN, that's probably why so many have weighed in about her uselessness. Maybe starting a new thread with a different focus would yield proactive suggestions. I am taking measures similar to yours -- calling my parents and asking them to email/call their Sen. & Reps (especially if they are Republicans) to hold them accountable and make their voices heard.
