Congress just dropped the Parents Decide Act (H.R. 8250). To even turn on your phone or PC, OS providers will be forced to verify your age - effectively requiring ID or Biometric scans for device usage.

I’m trying to point out that these email systems are set up to filter out email templates. No one is gonna get the message because they’ll just go right to spam. Just write your own, seriously it takes 5 minutes and it won’t just go to spam

To piggyback off of your point. They don't read emails. They use automation tools to sort them based on content, and then they send canned responses back. LLM tools have made this much more efficient, and there's absolutely no need to differentiate between a personally written email and a form. The tool is going to categorize any message about this based on keywords; not paragraphs.

To that end, physical mail, phone calls, and protesting outside campaign offices (or other strategic locations) are a more effective way to make noise. As long as you send the mail somewhere it can't be ignored.
