13. yes!!

An activist friend of mine told me that Dem congressional offices begged her group to call and write their offices. "All we ever hear from", a Dem congressional staff member said, "are conservatives". Here was an aide for a solid-liberal congressperson, who was a reliable Democrat. In his case, the problem wasn't persuading the congressman to agree with Dem initiatives. The problem was being able to show that his constituents agree with his POV.

And, also, remember to THANK congressional representatives when they do vote for good legislation, stand up against conservatives, and do good things all around.
To take one example, John Lewis can be counted on to vote with the Dem caucus in the House; so there are very few instances where he might need to be persuaded to vote a way I might like. But boy does he deserve our thanks
