This is a nice and idealistic idea. But If you actually try mailing your member of Congress, you will find that for the majority of time by far, there will be no response whatsoever. If you do get a response, it will be a canned boilerplate letter that most likely will not address the issue you raised.

Interns answer the phone and assure you they'll "tell the Member your views." If you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
