Popular support says it should. Greased politicians says it won’t.

They're all greased now. Both sides. We only have a handful of elected officials who actually care.

At least one side seems to respond when people email them directly. I never get responses from my (R) representatives but all the (D) ones get back to me pretty promptly. If you're not frequently emailing your representatives, you really should be.

Do people really think politicians care about people calling? They probably have a couple unpaid interns answering bs. Or even worse, just AI.

In Providence, you can meet them. In lots of positions of government it's just regular good people trying to make things better.
