I saw this in a discussion yesterday: his district is heavily gerrymandered http://lamarsmith.house.gov/District/InteractiveMap.htm and he's been in office for 25 years, winning by a large margin every time.

I'm not sure what even a fully-engaged angry internet mob could do about that.



Form a crowdfunded corporation and direct mail every household in his district to annoyance until his district removes him.


Hmm. A daily direct-mail, direct-phone, etc campaign that appears to come from him (paid for by The Committee to Teach about Lamar Smith), until people can't stand the thought of his name anymore. It doesn't have to be a hate-campaign. Make it reasonable, just non-stop.

I wonder if that could work or if it would backfire.
