Honestly - anything that makes elective representatives experience it. Best would probably be showing up at town hall meetings and asking smart questions. But even a two line email "I disagree with your stand on x. Please reconsider your position on x" is in my opinion making a much higher impact than any of these petitions.

Demonstrations haven't been that effective. 1. http://imgur.com/b58pLB4 http://imgur.com/b58pLB4
