It's only $10.95 to send letters to every member of the Senate opposing this legislation.  Act now, or it WILL BE TOO LATE.

Scam...
 
I can CALL my two Senators and have more effect for less money.
 
Understand, from somebody who has helped before, that you are paying somebody to put yourself on thier mailing list

this is not a scam.  they send out 100 letters, one to each senator... doesn't matter if they are yours or not.  The point is to get as much mail as possible in their offices so they can see the volume of protest.  If you want to be removed from WND's mail list contact Joseph Farah and they will never send you anything else.

Yhea so they send out a 100 letters...  Stuff like that carries almost no "weight." Senators and other elected officals only care about those people in thier districts.  In fact by law they can only care about those people in thier districts; it is conflict of interest to do otherwise.  All that stuff does is make a mess for the interns to clean up.  While generating a potential donner list to sell to ther people...  Hint, they are not doing this at a lost or even break even...
 
THE ONLY THINGS THAT MATTER WHEN CONTACTING YOUR ELECTED OFFICALS in order:
 
1) A vist to thier office (DC really counts)
 
2) A HAND written Letter. Short and to the point and the official will be more likely to read it. Send a typed version also if you like. The best way to do this is to type out the letter and then hand copy it. Two to three paragraphs or less than 500 words at max.
 
3) A phone call Call DC and ask for a LA! The LA is the specialist on issues and gets you past the interns who answer the phone.
 
I've done enough politics to learn the rules. Have coffee with a staffer and ask them!  The NRA and about every other organisation has a manual on how to do this and they read about the same.

Silver, I have sent many letters in this method.  These are letters sent to the offices, not emails.  I have received comments back from dozens of Senators using this method.  They DO care what the populace thinks, even if NOT from their State, because overall public opinion matters for the continuation of party control.  
I've done enough too, briefed MOC and their staffers on a number of occasions.
