So, I was going to write mine as well, holy ish is it difficult to get all of your state's Senator's and Representative's email addresses without giving out your address, phone number, email, etc. Absurd.
Hacker News could be a cooler version of AARP. An easily mobilized group of individuals able to coalesce around issues important to the group. We need an app that allows me to write out a message to my representatives and, after I pay a dollar or two to handle stamps, will auto generate physical letters to each individual representative. Imagine 5 thousand of these showing up at roughly the same time all sharing the same "RE:..." line. It would be powerful. I have other ideas as well, but right now I'm going to work on getting these email addresses available.
- douche 10y agoAt current prices, sending out physical letters isn't a cheap process. A dollar or two to handle stamps is only going to send out two to four letters, and that's before counting paper, envelopes, printing, and handling.
