I've found that writing concise and effectively worded personal letters, in my own words, and faxing them to my representatives in Congress, does seem to have some effect. I lay out my case, demonstrate that I am knowledgeable on the topic and obviously paying personal attention to it, and that I can think and reason rationally including when I vote. That, they -- and/or their staff -- seem to notice. Of course, now my Congressional representatives seem to be beginning to hide their fax numbers. So far, my Google-fu has remained sufficiently strong...
