I've written Kay Baily Hutchison, John Cornyn and Pete Sessions on several different occasions. Suffice to say, it was more than a little discouraging when I received generic form letters thanking me for contacting them in reply. I've spoken to a lot of people who have had the same experience with their Congress representatives and senators. In that respect it is understandable why so many of us feel helpless & disgusted -- after all, 'there is nothing we can do to change it.' Otherwise I would write them again if I thought it would do any good, but given how unresponsive they have been in the past I doubt it would make a difference. On second thought, I may go ahead and write anyhow.
