This, or write a letter. A real, snail mail letter like your grandparents write. Not one of the boilerplate ones provided by activists, but one in your own words. Go to town hall meetings with your Representative.
The problem with my representative is that ever since Trump was elected, she's often been seen as ducking constituents, at least before she came out in opposition to Wedontcare. I'll give her that she voted against it - even though it may have been purely political - but being inaccessible to your constituents is unconscionable IMO for a congresscritter.
No it all adds up, even if it is just staff. Yes I agree the more that go in person the better, letters too, but even just posting on their social media too. Stress out their staff on top of those who go in person, every voice counts, and not everyone has the funds to go in person.
And putting pressure on local media as well as national media. Keep Russia in the news. Keep their attacks on health care in the news, even thought they gave up for now. 45 has really low ratings and the more voices that help keep that low from now till 18 and even 20 the better.
