While I don’t want to discourage anyone from contacting their representatives, mine refused to show up to a rather large town hall meeting. Went so far as to refuse to respond to all inquiries from multiple parties and news media whether or not he would attend. Over a thousand people showed up by my estimates to address their grievances to an empty chair.
I often recall Howard Dean’s promising presidential run coming to a screaching halt with one excited and slightly awkward “yyEAH” on stage.
