还有一个问题是，越靠近大选，3012的机会越渺茫，我们现在没有很多时间了，有没有
办法找出一些最关键的，需要动员的Senator，这样可以集中火力?
==================================================================
下面这段话的意义我来总结一下：
（1）议员也是人，是人都喜欢马屁，即使议员抵制对你有利的提案，你也得拍马屁。
（2）你拍了马屁后，议员就听得进你的话，议员知道并不是所有的选民都会去投票，
但是能够在议员公开办公的接待日来议员办公室门口排队等候接见的人一定是参政意识
浓厚，一定会去投票，他们如果不选你就会选你的竞争对手，他们虽然可能只代表一小
部分人，但是他们是投票的一小部分人。很多大众懒地投票，讨好他们也没有用。
（3）反对3012的美国人不多，反对3012的其他国家移民还没有反应过来去约见议员，
这个时候是我们的机会，机不可失，失不再来。
（4）任何人都可以见议员，每个议员都有四五个甚至更多的办公室，华盛顿开会时议
员在华盛顿，平时有很多时候在本州，议员网站上有公开办公接待日，也有约见联系方
式。没有钱的情况下就去门口排队，NIU会支付误工费。有钱就请lobby公司代为安排，
NIU还没有这么多钱。

The Best Communication: A Personal Visit
The most effective way of communicating with a legislator is to personally
meet with them or their staff. Unless you are planning a trip to Washington,
DC, this means visiting their local office. Don't expect the legislator to
be in their local office if Congress is in session on the date of your visit
. If you have the opportunity, note when Congress is in recess (please see
the Congressional Schedule) and make a point to visit the legislator's
district office then. You also can see if your representative and senators
have on their Web sites a listing of their district offices (most do) and
whether they list times when they will be there. You increase the chance of
actually meeting the legislator by visiting at this time.
It is very important to remember that all contacts with elected officials
must be constructive even if their opinions contrast with your own or those
of your organization. It's one thing to disagree with someone, it's another
thing to be a jerk about it . . . be respectful, courteous, and professional
.
If you meet the legislator either in the Washington or local office, send
them a thank you card after the meeting. In the card or letter state that
you would like to meet again to tell them more about your profession and the
issues about which you are concerned. Try to attend any social gathering
which your elected official may attend; this is a good way to nurture the
friendship.

Don't forget that elected officials are people too and they like to be told
when they've done something right.
