Does Writing Your Congressperson/Senator REALLY Help?

It sures seems like an exercise in futility to me. Most of these people seem to do what they want most of the time and most of the time they don't do the right thing. There are exceptions, of course, but man, if you got thousands of bitchy, whiney letters from morontic constituents how long would it be before you ignored it all?

Whenever I write to these jerks I get a form letter (it LOOKS real but, yeah right, the congressperson REALLY wrote it, reviewed it, and signed it :eyes: ) full of warm and fuzzy language that says nothing of substance. My bet is that you-all get these too.

Our system is SO fucked up it's not funny anymore. I have NO faith in our so-called elected jack-offs doing anything except for what's in THEIR personal interest, not anyone elses.

Where's the revolution when you need it?
