Yes, there is. You can write to or call your rep and senators. Writing
gets a lot more attention than most things. Calling them gets even
more points. Showing up in their office, even more, though most of us
can't do that.They all have 800 numbers so it doesn't even cost to
call. I have them all in my speed dial.
