They have the standard "Contact your Senators" link to a pre-written letter, which I sent, but which still leaves some with the non-choice of writing to politicians in safe seats who don't give a damn and there's nothing you can do to change that.
To reach more reasonable politicians who nonetheless limit their contact forms to state and district constituents on their official sites, I recommend sending them messages via social media, which imposes no such restrictions. After all, what they vote on affects all of us, and it's not like they refuse donations from out-of-staters. So it would be very helpful to contact those senators who appear to be persuadable, in this case, every one rated "C" and higher by GOA.
Yes, it would be nice if someone had such a compilation available for us, and yes, it will take half an hour or so to do this. It would be nicer if a gun rights advocacy group or an independent activist took it on themselves to develop a tool to facilitate this.
Maybe if more of us understood we have a resource that's not being effectively utilized, and made known a demand for such a tool, we'd see an incentive to create one. You'd better believe the Bolsheviks understand the value of virtual "community organizing."
