Yes, I&#x27;ll take back the prohibitively part since I had my internet upgraded a year ago. But prior to that, it was. Can you think of a way to do so without Skype? Or a reliable internet connection? Something that would be possible to do from home since the only overlapping hours are after 9&#x2F;10pm in my timezone?<p>And aside from that, it still does not detract from my original statement:<p>&gt; the effectiveness of getting your voice heard by your &quot;representatives&quot; (the reps from your last permanent residence in the US) is <i></i>much more difficult<i></i><p>It&#x27;s not just the contacting. It&#x27;s also getting them to even care because you don&#x27;t live on US soil. None of what I&#x27;m saying is an excuse, and I don&#x27;t know why you seem intent on not acknowledging that it can be legitimately difficult.
