      I did that and what I find interesting is that exactly one MEP replied. Well, his assistant did but that still counts. The way the reply was worded even made clear that someone did read my mail specifically.

      I’m not a friend of the BSW but I will acknowledge that their MEP Jan-Peter Warnke is in opposition and responsive (via assistant).

      But even if the rest of the bunch was silent, do send those mails. Or send paper mail. Or a fax; we’re taking about German MEPs after all. Either way, make your voice heard.
