Hey everybody! If you see a bill that you especially like, please call the sponsor and give him or her your support. Legislators are HUMAN BEINGS! They can feel marooned and overwhelmed by negative feedback, especially if they never hear from people who actually like what they do.
Calling in your praise for your legislators' efforts -- even if you didn't vote for them or they're not in your district -- can build their confidence, bolster their morale, encourage them to work even harder on your behalf, and lead to some great connections. Pick up the phone!
I wonder if it might be better to let people develop their opinions of the bills without seeing party affiliation. There are several Republican bills this year I'm not a fan of, while a couple Democrat bills look interesting.
Your probably correct although for many that are not familiar with legislators or new to following bills it can help knowing regardless of what side of the isle it comes from for the exact reason you mention- but with a little extra effort it is easy enough to find out on our own
