Your input is discounted at least in direct proportion to how little you sacrificed in order to provide it.

One of my college roommates works for a congresscritter. He says, at least for his guy, written letters still have the most impact, followed by telephone calls. He didn't mention faxes.

E-mail and social media are waaaay down on the list because they take the least effort and can be gamed so easily.

Many of my reps have stopped providing phone numbers on their websites. Kinda cowardly, but it allows them to validate emails with addresses that come via their website from actual constituents.

Yet they all hve phone numbers that can be found with a cursory search. Do the dilligence.

I'll probably send certified letters in this case.

I'll break out my calligraphy pen, ink, and sealing wax.

There's an interesting age bias there. My parents write letters, my generation much less so. I don't know if I currently have stamps. Our votes count the same though.
