People in the Senate and House Judiciaries make decisions regarding legislation which affect ALL of the electorate in the United States. Not just those in that Congressman's or Senator's district. There are those, take for example Congressman Lamar Smith from the 21st District of Texas who will either allow or stall bills from reaching a vote on the floor, These actions affect all on a Federal level.
Everybody who is impacted by his actions as the Committee Chairman should be able petition him through his website which is currently closed to only members of his District. This is clearly unfair. If you serve on a Judiciary Committee you have a responsibility to all whom your laws have affect upon and should be required to accept feedback accordingly.
This is historical material “frozen in time”. The website is no longer updated and links to external websites and some internal pages may not work.
