I sent an email to my congressman in the House of Representatives (Justin Carter, TX), asking him to justify his vote against Rep. Amash's amendment to defund select NSA programs, PRISM among them. I haven't received - and don't necessarily expect - a response.
Do you have any plans for a next step should your letter be ignored? I'm interested in being vocal about this, but I'm not sure electronic correspondence packs enough of a punch.
I'm trying to think of what else to do, too. The current strategy of elected officials, all the way up to Obama, is to try to change the conversation (to the economy, to the Zimmerman shooting, to the credibility of Snowden as a person, etc.).
I'm planning on keeping up on Mike Rogers until I get a response, and keeping the correspondence public until the shame factor kicks in and he gives a response. If somebody has a better idea than that, please let me know.
