yep, which means this month might not be a great opportunity to see debate and voting going on.

But it will be a great opportunity to call your rep’s office, ask what they’re up to, and advocate for specific action on the issues you care about.

It’s a great way to dip your toes into being politically engaged, and what better time to try than a quiet sitting month?

Or even just to get to know the staffer on the other end of the phone. It’s their job to hear you out after all :) so many guides and templates online to take the guesswork out of it too.

@diatone @fixatedpersonsunit Love the enthusiasm but do you really think if i somehow managed to speak directly with my local member (highly unlikely) that my reuqest for them to "stop being a bunch of useless corrupt cunts and start working for the people" would get much traction?

I recommend working with your rep in a specific, targeted way - for example, inviting them to attend a community event you care about. The approach you’re describing seems instead like vague criticism, so I’m not sure what “working” looks like there, except as an opportunity for you to blow off steam. If that’s what you’re looking for, great. But I recommend specific actions - eg: to vote a specific way on donation reform.
