There's probably others from "the little people" that agree with him, no?

And those people may be the minority (which granted is still wrong - majority vote being what it is and all) but those who "lost" are still going to bitch and whine.

I was unaware there was some big letter writing campaign for this. Enlighten me?

To get a Senator's attention, you need to attend all his $5000/plate dinners, and offer him vacation trips, carefully disguised as other things, and employ him as a lobbyist after his Senate career is over.

Anything other than this, and all you get is predigested sound bites.

In truth, I care more about the warrant issue than the lawsuit protection for ISPs. Did the House fold on that issue? I remember Bush promising to cancel his Africa trip if the House didn't include warrantless wiretapping.

QFFT (quote for fucking truth). Money talks. During the election year they pander and lie to as wide an audience as possible, but ultimately do what the money tells them to do.

Scandals seem to get their attention also.

You'll actually have better luck writing the House. Because of the shorter election cycle, they tend to be more responsive to voters.
