I just wrote to my representative. Wow, it's great. I'm going to start utilizing the electronic send a message to your representative thing more.
But it don't take much to get me by
So just booze me up and get me high

I can understand that. For some reason I feel like real mail is more effective. Fact of the matter is they are all only read and responded to by interns, and probably have little effect, but what the hell, why not invest $0.37(x3) ?

I met one of those interns once and he said they were required to note your comments.

Hopefully writing your congressman actually does something, electronic or not.

They do, and the Congressman actually does get a synopsis of what people are saying, and if enough people have the same concern it will be put on his agenda. I am good friends with a congressional aide. I was just teasing really.

It makes sense, you're not going to stay in office too long if you ignore your constituents.

I just want to say how much I appreciate all of you contacting your representatives, this is an important issue.
