It took the bot about 10 minutes to respond to me the first time. After it starts the convo it should go quickly.

No, they are US representatives and are only beholden and interested in what US citizens that are in their districts have to say.

Best case scenario is that you call in, reach an intern that works the desk, give your name and address to make a statement and get denied because you live in 'Stralia.

Also, many representatives have mailboxes that are completely full. Their phones are ringing off the hook during normal business hours and they are sorting through hundreds of emails per day. Every phone call, fax, or email that a non-constituent sends is just one more thing that the interns will have to sort through. Stick to advocating online or donating to organizations that are helping to fight this if you feel strongly enough. Let the constituents' calls and emails take absolute priority with the representatives.

If you're a US citizen, contact your representatives. Just because you're out of the country doesn't mean that you lose your right to representation by the elected officials that serve in your home district.

Worst you could get them on is vandalism. Typically the total damage will be zero though, as the breakaways are designed to be used several times.

It's an accident and most of the time it gets treated as such.

A local distillery has started doing their custom service that lets you age your own barrel of whiskey for as long as you'd like, but it stays on the premises. When you're ready they'll bottle it for you. I've thought about doing it, but prices start at about $5000 for a 10 gallon barrel and I'm not exactly flush with cash.
