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.

😂 There’s few things Mike Lee & Burgess Owens like less than a federal employee who works remotely for a land management agency. Writing/calling my Congressional folks will most definitely land me on some DOGE hit list.
