There is a problem here.

Congress has a set protocol to deal with contacts from non-constituents.
Any member receiving a call, fax, or email from outside their district will simply pass it on to the senders own representative!
These are routine, they are given the header, "Respectfully submitted by ########" and forwarded as necessary.

The only exception I am aware of is to address a member by his title as head of a committee, or subcommittee.

Another valid way around might be to ask YOUR representative to forward your opinion to the members of this committee.
This has the benefit of sharing your opinion with your own rep., and not annoying him via his being the last to know after hearing it indirectly ;-)

Sorry if some here do not want to hear this, but I know it to be true.
It was told to me by a member of my congressman's staff when he was a guest speaker at our local central committee meeting.

The only consistently reliable way of getting your government's ear is to pay for it -- and pay generously.

Want to be heard? Then open the checkbook. Open it wide. once those six-digit checks start flowing, you'll have all the government you can afford.

What? You can't afford that kind of money? Tough break, kid. Neither can I.
