Congress
Related: About this forumQuestion about legislation and who you can contact
There is a bill in congress and I saw on congress.gov that it was referred to the Subcommittee on Livestock and Foreign Agriculture. I don't know how that works. Are only people who are in the districts of the congresspeople able to ask them to vote a certain way, or is anyone able to ask them to vote a certain way?

zip code to sort out their own constituents. Calling usually works.

But you think calling may have an influence on them?
