May I ask your opinion regarding this idea? [View all]

The gist of it is to bombard government officials' offices with these individual cases in which their constituents are suffering due to the system being rigged against the average person, creating more and more poverty.

On one hand I obviously promote we citizens coming together at a grassroots level to help one another in various ways, but there is only SO MUCH we can do when the resources are hoarded by so few. There are only so many fundraisers we can have to help people with mortgage/rent crises, healthcare crises, education crises, etc.

I want to lay these real examples at their feet, in a very public way, to 1) appeal to any sense of humanity and compassion, and/or 2) shame them.
