Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organizing a demonstration in the representative's district and inviting the media is likely to bring attention to the consumer rights group's issues and put pressure on the representative to schedule a meeting. The media coverage may also help to raise public awareness about the group's concerns. Filing an amicus curiae brief or drafting a bill requires legal expertise and resources that may be beyond the capacity of the consumer rights group. Contacting the Consumer Products Safety Commission may not necessarily lead to a meeting with the legislator in Congress.
