I see a lot of posts say "Compelted AI for today", "done AI for today." We cannot send e-mails, donate everyday. What are these everyday AI which I am missing?

Siva, I am just trying to clarify my doubts. We should send emails to the same senator everyday by a same person?

I thought if you already got a reply from your senator(s), you don't need to re-sent the mails. Isn't that?

This is another pick from the O law firm. We have to remember that there will be oppositions. That is the only reason we are having action items and asking everybody to join the fight by contributing/emailing etc. Yes there will be oppositions but our goals are clear and we will fight. IV leaders have assured us that the fight is going on pretty strong so dont loose heart over such news. Its ok to post such material here but dont get caught up with this. If the racer starts to think of fatigue while running what happens?? Lets just focus our full hearts to the goal and that is "seeing the message from IV that our bill has been put on the schedule and then the "pass" results". Its not a request to blind yourself from realities but rather a practical approach and introduction of clarity into your thought process. Its ok to read these negative news but take that with not a pich but a handful of salt!! What is the gurantee that the posts are true and if they are indeed true do we really know that the oposition is that strong "remember the huge victory in the house". All our mental energy should be focused on victory and only then we will win. Remember taking gruelling exams during college? Focus on victory and not likelihood of failure which is useless. As regular members its also our duty to inspire the IV leaders to continue the fight. If we behave as winers then where will their energy come from. We are all adults ( I hope!) so let us motivate each other even after we get the 3012 passed.

As our lobbying is taking time, we need to remind senators daily that there is persistent support for this bill.

I think i remember someone from core posting that if the senators have replied, don't send them more emails. I will try to look for that post.

I have stopped sending mails for many weeks because of this. I think many others are also not sending mails coz the senators replied.

Can someone from core please provide clarity on this? I am requesting clarity just coz I don't want to mess up all the effort by doing wrong things.

If you are from core please reply so that I can start sending mails again.

We need clarification from somebody from core as I too has stopped sending emails to senators as I have received emails from them. On another note, I think we will sink or swim with the Irish E3(though we like it or not). More than Reid, Schummer runs the day to day senate activities for Democrats. He has immense interest in E3 and not much on core 3012 provisions, they will only bring 3012 on to the floor when they have 60 votes locked up. Hopefully they could lock the last few this weekend.

I just checked the action item thread and for item#3 the post from pappu clearly says:
You do not need to email your Senators if you already got a response from them. If not, it is ok to send the letters multiple times but please use your judgement and do not spam.
