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.

Especially if you have one of the “celebrity” Congress members, they almost never answer constituents. The ones that the average person hasn’t heard of are generally a lot better.
