Notes on Writing Your Congressperson

As part of this descent into right wing dictatorship, I am deliberately writing my Congressman even though it really doesnt matter.  Here are a few things that might be true and might be useful to you if you decide to write your congressperson.

1. You will need both your zip code and the 4 digit annex to the zip code.

2. You can only write your own congressman.  If you write any other congressman you will be ignored.  Of course, you will be ignored anyway because you are worthless garbage and your opinion does not matter.

3. If you want to send a message to another congressperson, you are advised to ask your congressperson to do so for you.  It wont happen of course.

4. You are advised to put a typo in your message somewhere.  This fills the Congressperson and his/her staff with contempt at your ignorance but also fear and loathing that the unwashed are actually writing them.

5. You should keep a copy.

6. You should write regularly and this may convince the staff that you are a pest and possibly pay attention to you.  It wont do any good, but you may get more lip service.
