Subtle.

Very much disagree. Honestly might not be a senator replying, but I've received very long emails talking about each point that I brought up. I'm sure it's an aide but regardless someone in their office is reading what I've sent, and I'm happy that I'm at least making an argument to someone in that senator's office.

In the past, I have sent emails to my senators through their websites. Although it takes a few weeks/months, I've always gotten a personal reply. These replies are usually very vague and one email probably won't change a senators stance on an issue completely, but if enough people let their voices be heard I believe it can make some sort of a difference.

What advice would you give to someone who would want to make an eventual career out of protecting civil liberties, preferably without a law degree?
