Guideline suggestions for your letter

[PE101]

Good post. I disagree with item 1 though. I really do think that, with all the anthrax stuff, physical mail is REALLY slowed down.

All the members of congress have web sites that have a link to a email form that you can fill out. This way, the format is known (to them) and they don't worry about things like viruses, etc.

The bottom line is that all of us need to contact them! Each one of them! Send them mail (physical or e-mail), but also call them at their local office in your area, and their DC office. Long distance is cheap!

If one of you Senators is up for re-election this year - really hammer him. Even if it seems to be a slam-dunk for re-election.

You can go to the Senate, or the House of Representatives web sites to get their contact info.
