Petty little men, do petty little things...

That is the simple message I just sent to the interim Speaker Patrick.
I keep on hand, pre stamped post cards and often whip one off to Congress critters.
A post card will get through to the office. Messages mailed in an envelope get held up because they require special scanning for harmful substances.

I do the same. Usually just plain white postcards I buy for $8 for 50, but sometimes my favorite outdoor store puts pretty Colorado postcards on sale & I'll buy a handful & write climate change messages on them. Manchin always gets one of those.
