Staffer has a call register with a list of defined issues, and an assessment of the caller 's predisposition.

On that grid, your patient staffer checked the box that said "Democrat". He then checked the box marked "Complaint".

On the menu, he probably checked something about "Obamacare".

The last box was labeled: "Solicit Donation"...which was unchecked.

THAT is a as close to "contacting your congressmen" you will ever get.

Unless you mail a large check to Mr. Buck's campaign, he will care not a whit what you think.

THAT is America!
