At some point in coming months I will be writting to my Democratic representation in Congress. Last time I did this, on a very different topic, letters seemed to count for more than e-mails, telegrams (remember them?) outweighed letters and phone calls were a hit-or-miss measure. Well worded, rational but forceful messages, were SOP, HOWEVER, it was widely assumed (apparently correctly) that it was really total numbers of such messages that carried the needed weight.
