The House is the perfect example of bottom up politics. I don't live in Florida so I cannot affect that race except to donate money.
My point being that out of district people sending letters, e-mails or calling with voting threats are entirely meaningless and never get past the round file.
This is why the efforts directed at the voters are more effective, like phone banks, blogs and other communications. This was Bob J's point which I agreed with.
I'm not trying to let all the air out of someones bag, but this top down stuff has never worked. You have be a district member to get what little attention they may give and that ain't much. Letter directed to the RNC might be more effective. Not donating is quite a message and they have received it.

Dick Armey to endorse 3rd party candidate over Republican in NY House race
excerpt
Add North Texas’ Dick Armey to the list of conservative stars backing Hoffman. The former House Majority Leader has confirmed to the Hoffman campaign that he’ll spend Thursday with them, said Rob Ryan, a Hoffman spokesman. “He is with us almost all day Thursday,” Ryan told me. “There will be a bunch of different events.” Armey’s endorsement of Hoffman is personal and wasn’t offered on behalf of FreedomWorks, the conservative foundation he chairs.
Armey’s support is a counterpunch to Scozzafava’s latest endorsement, from former Speaker Newt Gingrich.
94 never happened? I'm shocked!
First off, I hang up on a phone bank call. I have nothing to say to them, it is meaningless. They are only on the other end to push the GOP agenda that is not my life.
Blogs? Yeah...go post over on DU or even the comments section of the news. MAYBE you'll get allowed through the censorship monitors.
Other communications? I just tossed the party mail in the trash this morning.
It is obvious you don't understand I don't want to here from them! They are not listening to me!!! The one way flow of information has to end.
