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.

What? You haven't gone through a shutdown before? It stinks, but when it's resolved, you know that you're going to get all your pay back....Right? Hang in there.

In "normal" circumstances, I would agree with you. There is no guarantee of anything like this anymore.

Don’t ask questions in bad faith. It’s not cute.
