Most email is ignored.  Phone calls are better, but they can still be
useless if the caller fails to answer a question like "What article in
particular do you think will damage your business?"  (if an MEP doesn't ask
questions like that, they're probably not taking the phone call seriously).

Look at this info too:
(It's a publicly editable wiki, but I'm writing the page right now and amn't
finished so please don't start editing it, because there will be clashes.)

No one does.  That's why lobbying right now is critical.
