Write to your Congressman, Senators, & friends. Ask your friends to write to their Congressmen, Senators, & friends. This is NOT an illegal chain letter because it does not ask for anything of value to be sent. It is a grass-roots campaign and is perfectly legal. It can work if ENOUGH letters are actually received from ENOUGH DIFFERENT voters. The very FIRST thing that the congressional staffers will do is to look up the name on a list of registered voters. Letters from non-voters don't count, so be sure to include
Name
Street address
City, State ZIP
Telephone
Congressional district
