Please get involved.
Just an e-mail every now and them when it is something that is important to you, something that affects you... though they all do.
I know I can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but this is not about one side or the other, about how you ask them to vote... just get involved because if they think that no one is watching they will behave with impunity, or more than now.
If you can spend time talking to us in here, you can e-mail your reps from time to time.
Please.
