Re: Help needed on H.R. 2239

[Scotty Allen <scotty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Al,

So I'm going to ask the idiot newbie question... How exactly does a  
conversation go with a representative that doesn't represent you.  I  
calling Udall yesterday was the first time I've ever called a  
representative, and admittedly, it wasn't that hard.  But at the same  
time, it's a lot easier to ask someone who actually represents me to do  
something, than just some random representative.  What do you say when  
you call?  What's the typical response?
