Do we not have a standardized org structure for the support staff of each politician:
Who is in the following roles as an aide to each congressman?
* Technology Consultant
* Foreign Policy
* Energy
* Agriculture
....
etc.
We should be able to reach out to EACH layer of aides for all of congress and say "To all the congressional technical advisors, as silicon valley reps, this is our stance on issue X"
These aides should then go to each congressman and say "this is what the tech on the street is saying" and inform them of opinion and reality.

The current system is DESIGNED to keep stupid.
