I've lost count of the calls and letters I've made to state and national representatives.  I'm past the point of being more than marginally polite because I have a stack of letters from all of them, all saying almost exactly the same thing:  Thank you for your interest in this matter.  The NAIS meant to prevent outbreaks of disease or terrorist acts but we will voice your concerns to those committee members who are involved with agriculture.  Whereupon, I call the office of the representative sending the letter and scream at some innocent intern that my idiot representative or his letter-writer needs to read the original research I sent them which disproves any such need or purpose for NAIS.  This usually leads to another inane letter thanking me for my interest.  This makes me want to grab voters in this state (OK) and shake them until they realize what a bunch of Null Points they have put in office.  Even the one Representative that got my vote just lost it by voting against the amendment that would have cut the funding for NAIS, thus effectively killing it.  I immediately called his office and left a message for him to be sure to drive by my farm and see the sign I was putting up that says he doesn't support small farmers.  Bet that doesn't get me a letter thanking me for my interest.
