Just get a pitch you can say about how these patents are making you fearful and how you cannot possibly take such risks as starting your own business (if you haven't) and hiring (more?) people. Keep it short, be confident, practice in mirror. Check various organizations for talking points.

Find a decent suit, get a hair cut, and make yourself look like the stereotypical successful business man / woman. Find out when your representative will be in town (most have multiple offices in their district), and go to a public meeting they are holding. Be pleasant, nice, and state your point. Followup with a letter and get others to write letters on the same subject. If you know one of the big campaign donors then get them to state the same thing.
