to help you, you should set up an in-person meeting with him. Make sure no one else is there and bring cash. 30-50,000 should be enough to nudge him in the right direction, or at least be a down payment. Small unmarked bills are prefered.

Seriously, I have never been able to speak to a live human being at my Congressman's office. I Emal them and they respond with an Email explaining how to send money to them.
