Re: E'mailing congressmembers

[Guest guest]

It's been in my experience to be taken seriously, and given a little credit,

the hand written/typed snail mail approach works better. Maybe it's because

they feel if you take the time to write it out as opposed to doing a " general

flying across the Internet " approach, then it must be worthwhile to you.

That's just my guess. But, I did it both ways, and found a better response

to actual letters. Followed up of coarse by phone calls. (I found NO

response from the e-mail system).

<< We just e'mailed all of our states (CA) congressmembers asking them to

support the bills. They are all automated responses. They say we have to be

in their district for them to respond. Should we continue doing this? We

were going to write to all the states. Thanks, Herschell & >>

E-mail seems to be a waste of time. We all did that several months ago with

the same canned response. Write letters to your Senators. There are fewer

Senators in each state and you might get more attention from them.

I wrote to Charlton Heston because he is the head of the NRA and a well-known

figure. He was kind enough to response (twice). You might write to him.

Another letter from someone else my trigger him to look into this. His

address is:

Charlton Heston

2859 Coldwater Canyon

Beverly Hills CA 90212

I wrote to last night but no response yet. She probably hasn't had

time to get to her e-mail yet.

Keep writing and praying.

Hi,

Email is a nice forum for what we are doing to communicate with each other

but, if you want to contact representatives use the phone, fax, snail mail, or

even go in person if possible. You are more likely to get 'through' to the

representative by these methods than using email. Once in a great while you may

actually get a non-generic response with email, but that is the rarity rather

than the norm. Call their offices and make it known to their staff as to the

who what where and when, it's much more effective.
