because more and more Americans are waking up to reality. In fact, there are many Americans who have become engaged in the political process now who had never previously contacted their elected representative.
Yes, yes, yes - in fact, I personally have motivated a good number of family and friends to call and email their senators/representatives to get involved! ..And they have followed through on their own initiative.
Americans are fairly detached and laid-back (too busy...?) by nature I believe. Contrary to the contention by the detractors, I believe most Americans are tolerant by nature and that this also has exacerbated the problem (are not quick generally to insist upon enforcement by nature). Now, however, things really are changing.
People that barely knew who their elected Federal reps are, now have their phone numbers and email addresses already written down in the phone list handy for a quick call at a moment's notice.
