Notable industry figures likely weigh more heavily in this regard, but tens of thousands of emails from constituents is something a Senator could _at least_ use as a talking point, if nothing else.

Anyway, the EFF has a prefab letter to customize and send out. Shouldn't take anyone more than a minute.

Sending the letter by email is better than nothing. However, handwritten letters usually have more weight.

If you have the time, write the letter out by hand, and word it your own way rather using the boilerplate the EFF provides. Then mail it to your Senators by snail mail.
