may be too big for them, but worth a try don't you think?

or maybe your $12.32 isn't worth the trouble!?

Done. It is very unfortunate that our once great country does not give a damn what the people want anymore.

Done.
Please take an extra minute to add a personal sentence or two. Those emails are much more effective than the cut and past version.

Elected officials actually care about the letters they receive. I'm about as cynical as possible about politics but this is still true.

It's not because they actually care about you or your rights. It's because they care about getting reelected and know that people who bother to send letters, even this sort of form letter, are representative of the people they want to vote for them and that doing things to appease them (or upset them) impacts their chance of being reelected.

You can make a difference. Click the links.

This. Believe it. Congresspeople definitely pays attention to campaigns of letters and phone calls.

Uh, isn't that the point of this? These letters aren't in place to stop the action against FTP, PS and UB. They were breaking legit laws (doesn't matter why they were actually doing it, they're going to get boned), so I'd assume all this is to push for actual legalisation after this is all over.

Am I wrong?
