Easy to say, but I've written many respectful letters to my congressman. Including within the past week (no response from his office). And I've been rewarded with being addressed incorrectly, responses that thank me for agreeing with him (when I don't), off topic responses, and fake "bounce back" emails. Not everyone has responsive representatives. And some of them, like mine, are intentionally disrespectful of their constituents. I'm my district, which has a lot of farmers, they will continue to vote for him, even if he does nothing for them...or worse. His seat is safe because too many people vote for party over principle.
I understand how frustrating it can be. It doesn’t always work, but there is a much better chance to heal what ails this nation if we lead out with respectful, bold calls for change.
