I've heard it said before that Congressmen either can't or won't listen to phone calls from people outside of their district. So why do they "listen" to corporate lobbyists in D.C.?
Question about the legality of lobbying

Campaign contributions. Lobster bisque.
We can't let them redirect the debate back to Red/Blue. Rand Paul's filibuster served as a clarion call, and opened eyes to the real divide--liberty v. tyranny. Everyone saw the president stall twenty-four hours before the AG confirmed we still have Constitutional due process. Don't let them turn this back into 'Left'/'Right' dogmaganda.
We, the People--'Red' and 'Blue'--must hang together or surely we will hang seperately.
Most congress-critters are corrupt, that's why. It's my understanding that lobbyists don't even waste their time on RP.Originally Posted by RCA

So it's ok for me to call Jeff Flake's office and demand answers to his lack of H.R. 1207 support if I send him 50 cents and a snickers?

Could help, but I suspect you'll discover that you actually can't afford him.

If you bought me lunch I'd listen to your pitch too.

Capitalism sees no borders or skin color.
So why do some say that we can't contact Congressmen outside our district because they "can only listen to their constituents"?

You can contact them. They can't reply via government-paid postal mail (called "franking privileges") to non-constituents, but they can legally reply via email. Some choose not to, but none will say you're prohibited from contacting them.
For example, when UIGEA (the Internet gaming bill) passed, I wrote to Ron Paul to ask him to help. His office kindly responded affirmatively, even though I wasn't even a constituent. Cool how he can do so yet still refund the government a significant portion of his office budget every year!
