## Resource

"Contact your reps" sounds like wishful thinking, until you understand how laws actually get passed. @NaomiBrockwellTV explains the two ways politicians get reelected (campaign donations from lobbyists, and constituents who'll punish them at the ballot box), why 10 calls is genuinely enough to get a rep briefed on an issue, and why the political fight matters even if you think tech is what will ultimately save technology.
