Yes, and the Congress responded to those calls.

If they hadn't the bill would have passed.

And the reason they did was because the House (who are all up for reelection) did not want to face the wrath of the voters.

So, the system worked exactly as it was suppose to.

Earlier post by you-

Had we not blistered their collective asses with phone calls and emails

Emails are 'writing in'.

But the issue wasn't how the people communicated their displeasure, but that they did.

And the politicans responded.
