Well then let me ask you this: if y’all keep writing to ‘em and rarely get a reply and when you do it’s just a form letter, why do you keep writing them?

Because when they have come to Milwaukee and take time to speak to us lowly volunteers, they tell us that when they are considering how there constituents feel about a topic they give each email 1 point of influence, they give each phone call 100 points of influence, and if you actually take the time to write a letter they give that 10000 points of influence. So though they don’t let you know, one written letter will carry more weight in their decision making than many phone calls and masses of emails.
