I'm glad that yours was read on the air, and I hope it did some good. But in my experience in communicating with elected officials and opinion-makers over the years, I have found that a paper letter has 100 times the chance of actually being read and acted upon by the intended recipient than a blast-ed email or fax. I've received many great replies, some noncommittal ones, and a few kook-out responses to my letters.

I'm a firm believer in the effectiveness of dead trees and ink when it comes to issues that I care about.

I agree that pen and paper are more effective but I also think that if the number of e-mails for one show is much higher than usual, it may get some attention. It was shameful the way Juan was able to go on and on about Mary, the way he kept interrupting Brit, and to call The Swiftboat veterans liars and not be challenged. We can only hope that an increase in volume of e-mails will get some attention. Writing letters will just back them up.
