Congressmen (i.e. those in the House of Representatives) don't represent all Americans, they represent the people who live in their districts. And Senators represent people who live in their states. I don't really see any problem with this.
I am fine with this. I think it is ridiculous when people orchestrate letter and phone campaigns to sway reps that are not their own. I also know that a lot of Congressional mail and messages are simply tossed aside because they are too obviously repetitive form mail.
I think this trend recently backfired on Dems when they decided to have a bunch of displeased coastal voters swamp Manchings office and he responded by telling Sanders he would pull the Biden policy package down to zero dollars if he kept pestering him.
The only thing that will get your reps attention is bad polling or tight/losing efforts at the ballot box.

Yep, even though my opinion of members of congress is quite low, I think it’s okay for them to not accept email from outside of their districts because it gives them the ability to more easily focus on the needs of the constituents they actually represent.
(Even though, as an aside, my representatives tend to care more about pandering to illegal immigrants and being “woke†than they care about doing things that benefit everyday constituents, but I guess people in my state/district are okay with that.)

As an American, if they are voting on legislation that affects the entire US, whether it be immigration, defense, national security, giving benefits to illegals, etc. they shouldn't get on TV and say they are doing what the American public wants.
