Remember, they never read your letters you write. Whether it is faxed,sent by snail mail or emailed. Most likely they delete your emails or shred your letters and faxes you took time to write. When you call their office, you usually get a staffer. It is extremely rare that a U.S. House Representative or Senator will respond to your correspondence.

The only way is to hurt them where it counts, in their financing of their campaigns. You need to realize that you truly have the power to affect votes in Washington with your pocket book.

I've been using a combination of the Congressional race section of Open Secrets and the "grades" section of Better Immigration to help me find out who to spread my money out to. The choice for me seems to be either something like a nice flat screen TV + a dying U.S. or lots of political donations to the right places + a better future.

How is a politician going to know you haven't sent contributions unless you send a letter telling the politician that you withheld them?

As ironic as it may be, assuming the House holds firm on its tougher, close-the-border-first immigration bill, the Republicans might just lose the Senate but retain control of the House!

This is the exact opposite of what most Democrat pundits have been predicting might happen. They have mostly written off the Senate, but somehow see opportunities in the House.

It is not an outcome I want to see, but considering public opinion regarding the "Amnesty Bill," and other factors, it is actually more likely that the Republicans could lose the Senate but not the House in 2006.

The result of such an outcome would be a vitriolic Democrat majority in the Senate that is unable to provide its base with the much hoped for impeachment proceedings against the President because such proceedings must begin in the House.

Then, after the Democrat Majority in the Senate has had about two years to make a holy, ass-clown show of itself, and the Democrats inevitably nominate the fatally flawed Hillary Clinton to run in 2008, we might have a real Conservative Republican Presidential candidate with popular coat tails broad enough to replace the RINO majority in the Senate with real Conservative Senators.
