You'd be surprised how many would. This is a good time to start this too. Mid term elections are coming up. One of them will want to "look good".
It also depends on how much time and dedication you want to put into "your cause". You really have to be a pest on this stuff but trust me when I tell you this works.
If you have several people who you know will write to someone, make a general form letter, put yourself as the original author and send them out so others in different states can do the same.
I'll be happy to nag my congressman.
Especially now since the republican who had to retire was replaced by a democrat who, when I asked him for help with something this year, sent me out a packet of useless information and the list of things he willing to help with.
He's a real go to guy:
Info on the flag over the White House
Help arrange White House Tours
Passports and Visas
Immigration procedures
Student financial aid - and at least 20 other completely mundane topics any of which one can take upon themselves to accomplish easily.
see? a useless lazy shit replaced someone who went above and beyond to help his constituants.
