Some time back a freeper pointed out that the DC politicians do “discount” the input they receive. So a handwritten letter is worth something like a hundred emails. Because a handwritten letter takes more time and expense. More effort is put in. A constituent in the streets has put in even more time and effort and they do notice and weigh that difference. So 1 citize in the street is worth like 100 letters which is worth like 10,000 emails.

Yes, you've told me somewhat the same before. But I contend that to write a cogent letter, clearly delineating one's stance, is a lot more useful than being a faceless body in the street, about whom nobody knows or cares anything.
