>>>>> first
>>>>> point of contact with our legislators, educating them about the broader
>>>>> issues, then pointing them to the pros who can help them work out the
>>>>> details while still keeping the focus on our message.
>>>>>
>>>>> 2. Request a meeting. Many times we have heard veteran Washington
>>>>> Seminar
>>>>> attendees extol the virtues of the in-person meeting. As you astutely
>>>>> observed in your message, Congressional staff (and sometimes the
>>>>> Congressmen
>>>>> themselves) appear very supportive of our cause during Washington
>>>>> Seminar
>>>>> appointments, when they have a group of knowledgeable and articulate
>>>>> blind
>>>>> people in front of them who are passionately expressing our positions.
>>>>> Despite the proven effectiveness of these meetings, I think we often
>>>>> forget
>>>>> to take advantage of this strategy when we're doing follow-up. All
>>>>> Representatives have various offices across the state they serve, and I
>>>>> would encourage you to call your local office and ask to schedule a
>>>>> meeting.
>>>>> From my experience, it seems as though Congressional staff in local
>>>>> offices
>>>>> keep in close contact with their colleagues in Washington, so you may be
>>>>> more likely to get a response from DC after you've met with a local
>>>>> staff
>>>>> person. Also, many Federationists have found it useful to take advantage
>>>>> of
>>>>> the Congressional recesses, when reps are back in their home districts
>>>>> and
>>>>> are more open to personal meetings with constituents.
>>>>>
>>>>> 3. Use social media early and often. As NABS's resident social media
>>>>> guy,
>>>>> you probably already guessed that this would be one of my suggestions.
>>>>> All
>>>>> biases aside, social media has shown itself to be the most effective
>>>>> electronic medium with which to promote a cause. Members of Congress
>>>>> have
>>>>> often explained their action on a particular issue by citing the number
>>>>> of
>>>>> tweets or Facebook posts they have received from constituents about it.
>>>>> So,
>>>>> fill up those timelines with messages about our legislative priorities,
>>>>> and
>>>>> encourage your friends (both inside and outside the Federation) to do
>>>>> the
>>>>> same. Also, be sure to use relevant hashtags when posting about our
>>>>> issues.
>>>>> If a staffer sees a series of tweets which contain #AIMHEA or #TIMEAct,
>>>>> for
>>>>> example, he/she is likely to click on the hashtag and see that a lot of
>>>>> other people are also tweeting about the same issue. In this age of
>>>>> social
>>>>> media, the more prominent an issue is on a legislator's news feeds, the
>>>>> more
>>>>> prominent it will be in his/her mind.
>>>>>
>>>>> 4. Make connections. Is their a state legislator who is particularly
>>>>> supportive of our work? Have you met with a government official in the
>>>>> past
>>>>> who has been supportive of the Federation? Do you know anyone personally
>>>>> who
>>>>> may hold some influence with your member of Congress? If so, hold onto
>>>>> these
>>>>> contacts and use them when you're trying to get a response out of a
>>>>> Congressional office. For example, I personally know a state delegate
>>>>> who is
>>>>> a friend of our local Congressman. This delegate has long been a
>>>>> supporter
>>>>> of the NFB, so when I couldn't get a response from my Congressman, I
>>>>> asked
>>>>> her if she could help. Within two days of my conversation with her, I
>>>>> got a
>>>>> call from the very staffer I had been trying to reach for months with no
>>>>> success. When I asked the staffer whether she had received any of my
>>>>> previous emails or phone calls, she said she hadn't. She only contacted
>>>>> me
>>>>> when she got a call from the state delegate. Connections are powerful
>>>>> things, so use them to our advantage when you can.
>>>>>
>>>>> 5. Finally, keep track of your Congressman's event schedule. If he/she
>>>>> is
>>>>> doing a radio interview in which listeners are invited to call in and
>>>>> ask
>>>>> questions, call in and ask him/her about one of our bills. If he/she is
>>>>> doing a town hall meeting, attend it and/or alert local Federationists
>>>>> so
>>>>> they can join you. If your legislator is appearing at a public event,
>>>>> like a
>>>>> fair or parade, talk with them about our bills and establish contact
>>>>> with
>>>>> them. In short, get them whenever and wherever they avail themselves. A
>>>>> good
>>>>> way to keep track of these schedules is to follow your reps on social
>>>>> media
>>>>> or sign up for their email newsletters.
>>>>>
>>>>> I hope these suggestions help you in your follow-up efforts. I know this
>>>>> advocacy business can sometimes be discouraging, but I also know that
>>>>> the
>>>>> Federation has been doing it effectively for the past 75 years, and that
>>>>> we
>>>>> will keep doing it in the future. Please don't hesitate to reach out to
>>>>> your
>>>>> fellow Federationists if you need any advice or support. We're all here

>>>>> help each other work toward our common goal. Thanks for all you do--keep

>>>>>>> When I contacted my Congressional Representative using the contact

>>>>>>> Congressional
>>>>> district, to go through.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> When I contacted members of Congress using the email addresses
>>>>>>> provided to me by my state affiliate legislative coordinator, I
>>>>>>> generally did not receive a response to my email. However, I always
>>>>>>> used subject lines that indicated support for a specific piece of

>>>>>>> even when someone did not read or respond to my email, they still knew
>>>>> why I was writing them.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> If you prefer receiving feedback when contacting a member of
>>>>>>> Congress, perhaps you could call their office instead. The person
>>>>>>> you talk to on the phone may not know much about the specific issue
>>>>>>> you are calling about, but they can reassure you that the member of
>>>>>>> Congress will take note of your support on any legislative issue.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> One thing I thought of after posting my previous response to your
>>>>>>> email is the use of Twitter. Recently, I have seen an increase of
>>>>>>> the use of Twitter in thanking members of Congress who support the
>>>>>>> legislative issues of the NFB. Additionally, I have also seen some
>>>>>>> state affiliates use Twitter to thank members of Congress for meeting
>>>>> with them during Washington Seminar.
>>>>>>> So this is something else you could do to help support the
>>>>>>> legislative efforts of Washington Seminar if you are not able to be
>>>>>>> there in person. I am honestly not quite sure how effective using
>>>>>>> Twitter might actually be in promoting legislative issues, but I
>>>>>>> would imagine every little action in gaining support for the
>>>>>>> legislative
>>>>> issues of the NFB would be helpful.

>>>>>>> Contacting members of Congress before and after Washington Seminar is
