2. It's worth a try to see what this might do.

I asked the legislative assistant at my Senator's office how much correspondence from constituents on a single issue does it take to get a Senator's attention. He said it depends on the issue. Ten constituents making the trip to Washington to schedule an office appoint with an aid or the member, on an issue that doesn't have a clearly partisan point means he keeps notes on the meetings. On a partisan issue, 500 "contacts" would probably guarantee support. The record on any one issue during this particular senator's term in office was 4,500. 26,000 would cause an earthquake.

Would that at least shift the attention of someone like Susan Collins? Or someone who might not be getting relected in the primary, like Jon
