However, going out of town gave me a chance to send a few postcards to representatives in areas where I don't live. The postal mark will make it appear as if I'm a constituent in their district.
FUNNY TIP FOR CONTACTING REPS ONLINE:
ALSO, I came across an interesting tip a few days ago... If you want to use a politician's dot gov site to send a message, chances are, they might only want to hear from folks in their district. They will likely ask for your zip code (often all 9 digits are required) and possibly an address. If they do, find an address for some place within their district and use it.

| What a fake. |
For instance, maybe you'd like to let Mike Johnson what you think about him keeping the House of Reps on a paid vacation while the shutdown continues, or how disgusting it is that he won't swear in Representative Elect, Adelita Grijalva, or how his stupid bill will cause so much harm to families who will no longer be able to afford healthcare, or maybe you just want to tell him to release those Epstein files and stop protecting pedos.
In Mike Johnson's district, the address for a local sewage treatment plant is:
2850 Gardere Lane
Baton Rouge, LA 70820-7811.
On Mike's gov page, they only ask for a full zip code (all 9 digits). The sewage plant address won't be necessary for Mike, but you can look up a funny address in the district of other reps if their site requires more than a 5 digit zip.
I am fully aware this is a bit of silliness (that just happens to work), but in the midst of so many serious issues, humor is helpful. Experts on tyranny almost always talk about the importance of finding joy amidst the chaos. The Portland frog is a good example.
