That sucks, I'm sorry to hear about that. For future reference, the best way to get a politician's attention is to get on FOX News and talk shit about their pet program. It's like how people post on HN when they can't get support from FAANG.

I mean I threw the stack down in the my one assemblyman's office and spoke about it for over an hour to him in person, he was my neighbor in the same building I worked in. But being that he's of the party that's not in power in the state, there's very little he can do.

I also requested that he co-sponsor one of the bills that greatly increases penalties for defrauding the system (it's currently pretty much a slap on the wrist).

The vast majority of Americans are entirely unaware that most of the day-to-day laws and systems are implemented at state level (aside from griping about governor's office executive orders). There's one news network that reports on our state's government affairs and hardly anyone watches it. But everyone knows the second a federal politician does something.
