You're right, and this is of course meant to supplement those efforts, but as a political activist, I've noticed more and more delegates and senators, at both the state and federal level, relying more and more on Twitter. If there's any traction at all, the next steps are to add the House members, and also allow for emailing at the same time. What I've found is that on hot-button issues, like gun control, CISPA, gay marriage, etc., the majority of your emails are ignored, and are just parsed for whether or not it is 'for' or 'against' a given bill. Twitter allows for an easier aggregation of that sort of content than email does, and forces us citizens to keep the message short and on point. Namely, this is meant to address the audience that doesn't know who their elected officials are, and give them an easy way to voice that opinion. Thanks for the comment.
