Out of curiosity, do these messages ever do anything other than potentially fill up a government official's spam filter? Not trying to troll here, just genuinely curious about these letters' impact.
- bsiemon 15y agoMy understanding is that one of the jobs of congressional staffers involves sorting and analyzing these sorts of messages.
- vidiviciveni 15y agoYes. You would be surprised at how much attention a well written letter can get. You may even get a personal response.
- timewasted 15y agoI can't say whether or not these messages actually influence how the politician votes on the issue, but the last time I had EFF submit one of these on my behalf, I received a response back from my senator. So, someone at least reads them.
- joshmlewis 15y agoI work for Popvox and they have the same system setup. I know for a fact staffers get this information along with other reports and it isn't spam.
