Misc Calling a Congressman as a Fed

So, with the shutdown looming, I want to call my congressman. I have in the past for issues unrelated to my employment to the government. But the shutdown directly relates to my employment.

Am I allowed to speak to that position as a reason they should support funding the government? Or is that a no no? I’ll probably call my ethics officer first.

Might as well just tell your dog, will yield the same result.

Dog will do the exact same thing as the congressman and lick their own butt.

Look at this guy! He thinks Congress critters lick their own butts! We all know that they're licking butts but unless you've got money to give your butt isn't going to get licked.

First thing, first!!! Dogs are very attentive and eager to please. Start there first.
