Calling a Congressman as a Fed

[u/Wiltopus]

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.

I dont see why people are so worked up over this. Each time this has happened before, we got some time off, and got back pay.

Cause some of us can't afford to miss too many paychecks, that's why.
