Mail your responses.. Letters carry vastly more weight than emails...
Emails will be counted, they won't be read past the opening sentence...
Every letter will separately opened and read... I put 6 letters into
the mail today on the ADIZ...

You know, Denny,,,, I wonder about that. I've heard 'jokes' (don't know if
they are true grin) that politicians will weigh the mailbags on various
issues and devote attention to the one with the most letters/weight.....
LOL!!!!

My niece worked in DC for a Senator. She said they seldom read e-mails but
always read snail mail.

Was this recently? For a while there after the anthrax scare, congresscritters
avoided reading snail mail. It also took months for it to pass through the
security stuff. What's that like now?

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Before, during, and just a month or two after. She left. Anthrax security
was one of the reasons - having to deal with it, let alone having to even
consider it.

Yeah, both of my senators have a statement on their WEB sites stating
that if you want them to see something, it has to be e-mail.

I'm not so sure. I usually write an actual letter to my senators and the last
three responses were so generic I was unable to decypher what issue to which
they were responding. Since I write on a multitude of issues, it might be
helpful if they'd give a guy a hint.

Snailmail is no guarantee it's read any more carefully than email.
