My DTV reception is horrible. I tried complaining to the fcc, they don’t care, they got their money from the frequency lottery.

I have the latest design antenna specifically for DTV, the problem is low radiated power from the stations compared to the analog signal I used to get.

Would it do any good to write my congresscritter?

Not unless you enclose a check.

Possibly your antenna is not powerful enough?

Check out http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/Address.aspx , just entering your zip code should work, I suggest your street address for more accurate data.
