I've sent email, letters, telephone calls to my senator and congressmen.. guess what? NOT ONE REPLY.. not a one. And I might add, these are men that I have worked for during campaigns.. and I am on their mailing lists.. not another dime or minutes work for any of them...

Really? Where do you live? I get replies and Christmas cards, too, from all my reps, both state and federal as well as from the White House and I'm a nobody.

WEll don't hold your breath. . .I've worked in campaigns as well; the sheer volume of calls and mail preclude 'replies'. Why don't you just pay a visit at campaign headquarters. . .or your Congressman's office; go to the 'coffee's they hold, where they 'make time' for their constituents.

Beyond that, to expect a 'reply' goes beyond reasonable expectations, IMHO. . . and why, in these venues, would you expect them to have the time to pen a letter off; when they receive thousands!
