I believe the point/idea here is to inspire US citizens to contact our respective legislators about this, on the target day.

I think the idea is that if enough of them hear directly from their constiuents, that might make an impact.

Sure it might not help a thing -- but you can guarentee it won't if we don't even try.

Congressment etc actually don't get a lot of direct correspondence from their constituents.. a call or an email or (especially) an old school paper letter do get attention.
