WHY YOU SHOULD LOBBY CONGRESS
Citizens may feel it is a waste of time to contact elected leaders, because their minds are made up already. But on most issues, legislators try hard to determine the desires and leanings of their constituency before they vote. Politicians worry about being re-elected, and know that the happier their constituency, the more likely their own re-election.

House Speaker John Boehner stepped into the ring with the conservative flank Wednesday, calling their complaints about the newly unveiled budget plan "ridiculous."
The speaker was reacting to groups like FreedomWorks which have blasted the budget "deal" as a farce that jacks up spending in the short-term in exchange for promises of additional cuts years from now.
Boehner, trying to keep the complaints at bay long enough to win support for the plan in the House, lashed out at those organizations during a press conference Wednesday.
"They're using our members and they're using the American people for their own goals. This is ridiculous," he said. "Listen if you're for more deficit reduction, you're for this agreement."
But despite the fanfare surrounding Tuesday's budget unveiling, there was a steadily growing contingent of advocacy groups and lawmakers claiming the deal should not be approved.
Boehner's comments stoked that argument.
"Speaker Boehner's real problem here isn't with conservative groups like FreedomWorks, it's with millions of individual Americans who vote Republican because they were told the GOP was the party of small government and fiscal responsibility," FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe said in a statement.
Club for Growth President Chris Chocola, in response to Boehner, cited Republican senators who have come out against the plan. "We stand with Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Tom Coburn, Rand Paul, members of the Republican Study Committee and every other fiscal conservative who opposes" the deal, he said.
It's unclear whether the Republican infighting will translate to a problem with getting the votes on the House floor. Many Democrats, for their part, were unhappy the deal does not include an extension of long-term unemployment aid and are trying to get a vote to include it. Many Republicans groused that the tentative deal, while claiming $23 billion in net deficit reduction over the next decade, unravels a large chunk of the sequester cuts for the next two years.
However, a number of Republican and Democratic leaders lined up behind the plan, claiming it's a step in the right direction, eases the indiscriminate cuts of the sequester and -- perhaps most importantly -- sets in place a budget plan for the next two years and lifts the recurring threat of a partial government shutdown.
Lawmakers this time are facing a Jan. 15 deadline to pass a budget plan.
