For a couple years, c. 2001, I had a "free" fax service at my business. I was limited to 6 per day. At the time I spent a couple hours a day reading the Congressional Record and the Federal Registry - Evelyn Wood style. If I found something interesting I would compose a letter, i.e.,
Dear congress critter,I noticed your introduction of H. B. ###, read your speech, etc., and find myself in agreement, etc., etc., and so forth. Please consider adding XYZ if possible.
Best regards,
