4. That's exactly what I did and continue to do when I contact them.

Try calling them too. If the lines are busy that is good but lately more and more are open (shit, people NEED to call again).
I live in a blue city and state but have called all 100 senators over 3× each and 100 congressmen. I use Zillow addresses from their states and districts so that when I say I am a constituent they will take my call seriously and it does work! Area codes don't matter due to cell phones. I call the dems to thank them and give them encouragement. I tell the repub staffers about my own true health story and how I am going to die in severe pain and bankrupt within 1 1/2 years without the ACA then through my tears. Then I loudly tell them that all of my family, friends, and former co-workers are going to vote dem from now on too.

The truth is my family, friends, neighbors... are dems since I have disassociated myself from repubs over the years. My stress is lessened that way.
