We just finished having a president that did whatever he wanted with a Congress who was either to inept and too infatuated with corporate America.
Congress was unable to stop Bush on misguided war, eves-dropping, torture, and overspending to the nth degree.
Now you say it's our job to help them out??!!
Neither the president or Congress listen until about 6 month before any election. Until we have true structural reform of the federal government in a meaningful way, writing letter and email will only get you one thing:
A generic automated response with assurances that they are doing everything humanly possible. And yet, they're accomplishing nothing.
The only real hope is constitutional convention or serious reform on how we pick those individuals who represent us and make legislation.
