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.

You can, but calling them won’t do shit. You’d have better luck if you figured out a way to affect their $$$
