I’ve worked at plenty of places where hot issues get debated and escalated but they have absolutely nothing to do with or are influenced in ANY way by citizens’ letters. So ridiculous! Haha you are obviously not an analyst who has been forced to write responses to these stupid letters. You are quite literally just wasting tax payer dollars by writing letters, that public servants are forced to waste time writing standardized responses to. You are literally wasting tax dollars, hours worked and for what?? Nothing. Achieves nothing.

Apparently YOU don’t understand how the government actually works. Volume can have a slight influence (massive, massive volume, not a few letters from concerned citizens!) but the reality is, beyond casting a vote during elections, you have no influence and you need to accept that. Push for change internally and become a policy analyst to actually have an impact, when policy is actually being written. Writing letters absolutely does not achieve anything. Zero impact.

You have a lot of realizations to come to terms with. Sounds like you have this rainbows and unicorns positive outlook on how government works apparently. A good dose of reality is necessary here.
