I called and emailed Rep.Tom Kean, R-NJ. I get either a generic letter that doesn't address my issues or when I call they make excuses why he hasn't arranged a town hall. I also called and emailed Sen.Andy Kim, D-NJ and no response. Frankly, I'm disgusted with our country.

Did you ever see the movie The Shawshank Redemption? One of the key characters (played by Tim Robbins) was imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit, but he never lost hope; "Hope is a good thing," he would say.

When he got a work assignment in the prison library he wrote to the same person every day for many weeks (maybe years, I forget now, but it was a long time) asking to donate books to the library. He never got an answer until one day a load of books and records arrived with a response to his letters.

Please keep bugging your representatives every day. Demand answers to your questions. Make them worry they won't get reelected. Call them out on social media and demand a town hall. Hope IS a good thing, and so is persistence.
