Writting letters and emails should be done, but ask yourself did you receive a thank you from the legislator for work on their behalf during the campaign or for a donation? If the answer is no, the chances are that it will screened and replied to by a staffer. There is a reason why ex-legislators and their staffs become lobbists. They know the system.
We are against a foe that has spent 15 years interacting with the legislature, as well the Milwaukee-Madison anti-firearm mayors and their few remaining Wisconsin MAiG wannabes as well as, if they stay true to form, the Wisconsin Police Chiefs Association. What it spells out is a great deal of lobbying expertise that will be used against us.
By the time a bill becomes public, its rolling. It is the sponsors of a bill that gives drafting orders to the LRB. The antis will offer admendments to weaken by regulation. WCI, or in cooperation with firearm rights organizations, needs someone who can sit with the sponsors and make its wishes known. Be assured the law enforcement organizations will be doing so.
