After seeing all the posts on contacting various legislators, I have to
interject.
If you talk to the chief AIDE, you have talked to the legislator. If you
piss off the AIDE, you've ruined your case. The legislator votes the way
the aides tell them, period. We never begin work directly with a
legislator unless a topic comes up in a semi-social atmosphere. Sometimes
we do, sometimes they do. But the AIDE is the person(s) that make or break
deals.
So call them back, take them to lunch, show them the video. Then you'll
get the audience with the pope.
You're welcome. 8^)
Offer them a ride in ANY car they want at your next event, come see what we
do at the least, find out if they have a teenage driver in the family, get
them a ride, show them a good time. This is an acceptable inducement,
dinner and drinks afterward would be nice.
