--"Besides I'm not wasting a 30some odd cent stamp for a msg...."--
Any such message you send is a waste. Due to the anthrax scare, National politicians NEVER see what you send, and they receive the copy of the contents WEEKS after you send it. If you want immediate impact, either send a telegram (too expensive) or a fax. Email gets an automated reply and a mark on a tally sheet - your clever phrases and incisive comments never see the light of day.
