Keep in mind, your representatives include more than just
congress-people; you may want to visit school board members, the
mayor or local council members. Map out bus routes, hop in the
mini-van or walk down to your local district offices. If you can’t
get to the office in person,
write
a letter or make a phone

every effort makes change.
