    This may be why the older generation have more sway. Call them, talk to a person or get a call back. You can’t boiler plate that.

      This is not why the older generation has more sway. Calling just means talking to an intern who will read you the boilerplate, and then mark down a for/against tally if you’re lucky. Most of them don’t even care about that since they’re ideological motivated rather than caring what constituents think.
