Balancing the Scales In Congressional Fundraising
Representative supports controversial position unsupported by electorate, but supported by influential donors
Parties looking to benefit from unpopular legislation donate money and the representative has funded their campaign war-chest and increased their odds of re-election
Voters write emails or sign online petitions, possibly call the office
Lower level staff receive input and tally results, but generally no further action is taken
You're upset at your representative in Congress. You donate $50 against them in either their next primary or general election.
Then give it to whoever their leading opponent is
Even better, we communicate with the representative right NOW letting them know you are upset and putting money behind it
