    Why should they be expected to have the manpower to answer every single one? A voicemail gets the message across perfectly fine.

      Honestly, yeah. From what I’ve heard about Congressional offices, they basically just count the number of people expressing an opinion for/against a particular issue, and report that to the congressperson. Mail, calls, voicemail, emails, everything.
