I have some lobbying experience at the State and Federal level. The only thing, other than a bag full small bills, that worked was a telephone bank and a personal meeting. EMail is useless.
It's a simple concept. Organize a group of people. Get them to further organize a group of their contacts. Start calling and lock their phones. Be polite and knowledgeable about the issues(s). End every call with the statement "I am a registered voter and I will be keeping an eye on his/her actions, not just his/her vote on this bill.". This becomes more effective when it is combined with dropping in to their local offices and actually expressing your views to a real person. Don't be argumentative but don't accept any BS.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
