Senators get hundreds of prepared messages each day, most of them
generated by the same sort of computer code that the URL above will
trigger. If that's all the time you can spare, by all means use it, but
PLEASE pick up a pen and do it the old-fashioned way instead.

Haven't members of Congress discouraged written letters ever since
people started sending letters tainted with ricin or anthrax? At the
very least, I think the screening process delays written letters.

I went to the websites of my two senators and sent messages about the
Amateur Radio Parity Act in my own words via their online reponse systems.
