He's not wrong about letting politicians know that you oppose the things they produce. I think a lot of politicians are terrified of being booted out of office because the majority of them would have no access to any of the sweet book deals or speaking gigs that the Biggies get. They'd be forced to WORK for a living, with no more perks/bribes/grift...and no more access to power.
So calling them or writing and letting them know in large numbers that you don't agree with what they're up to scares the crap out of them. It reminds them of that potential - that they aren't all-powerful and that they can have all their goodies taken away.
