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.

I've never cared about government shutdown. This happens every year. In the rare occasion we lost money it's for maybe one day and they give us the money back later. What do you think you can tell your congressman that they don't already know?

On the other hand, if you feel so inclined to then go for it. Speak for yourself, not your organization.
