Please, Missouri, never give up on contacting our representatives

I called them yesterday and today over bill SB72 and the executive order to freeze federal aid as Missouri HEAVILY relies on effected programs. With the new administration, it's no shock that many Missouri voters are already exhausted. My circle and I have been through it in the last week. I contact our representatives over state and national issues ALL THE TIME, sometimes receiving really difficult-to-stomach correspondence in return. It's discouraging, it's degrading, it's exhausting. But I will never stop and I hope that as things get tougher, you all feel more and more moved by the chaos to contact them as often as possible as well. Even if you're already doing this and feeling tired, please don't give up because other Missourians like me are fighting with you! And remember that calls tend to be more effective than emails if you're able to do that!

Edit: I'm getting a ton of responses, lots of which are very pessimistic which is quite literally the opposite of the point I made in my post. In my years of following MO politics, I have seen evidence to the contrary of all who claim "there's no point." ESPECIALLY in state and local politics. Apathy and pessimism only work in the favor of the representatives who don't care and rely on you not to care either. That was proven in this latest election. I think this attitude is the wrong one in these times. But if you insist on being pessimistic, that's your prerogative, but don't insist on dragging everyone down with you on my post meant to give people hope.
