But I think payback is usually a waste of time and energy in Congress
On the other hand, a barrage of citizen letters to various local SC papers might sway some minds
I'm thinking of something like
"SC Representative Tiny Heart voted against Federal funding for disaster relief for other states after Hurricane Sandy, but I notice he was happy to vote for Federal disaster relief for SC after Hurricane Joaquin. Although most of Americans are willing to help their fellow citizens when disaster strikes, it is disappointing to see SC continue to elect people who expect help when they need it, but are unwilling to give the same to others when others need it. Attitudes like that can create unnecessary hard feelings; and then some speculation naturally follows about exactly when SC plans to set aside its resentments from the late unpleasantness between the states back in great-great-great-grandpop's day. It will be a great day when we can all again make common cause to build an ever-better country."
