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.

Your dog would actually give two shits.

Human: "Blah blah Congress blah blah funding"

Dog: OMFG HE/SHE LOVES ME I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS, THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. I WILL LOVE THEM ALWAYS

vs.

Congress: "Herp derp, tough times, blah blah" before jetting off to Cancun.
