Comment Dare I say lobbyist? (Score 1) 191
Forget sending email to politicians. They just ignore it. They just ran an article in our local paper about just that, and nearly every politician asked said he got a ton of email and was clueless how to deal with it. Better to just call them up. Your local rep will likely answer his own phone and listen to what you have to say.
Even better would be two kill to birds with one stone: offer to set up an old computer with linux and procmail and teach em how to use Mutt with aliases and threading and such. Then they get hooked on Linux too.
