To add onto cowbee: Write or email your federal reps and request a response in writing. They're constitutionally required to respond, and you can complain to the Deputy Chief of Staff if they don't.

99% of the time you'll be blown off with a boiler-plate non-answer, and 1% of the time you'll be directed to a staffer who will listen to you, and then throw everything you said into the trash.

Depending on the issue, there is a non-zero chance they'll pull strings, a buddy got his medical debt waived months after he had like half a million dollars of surgery.
