Please review our
recommendations as regards writing correspondence to members
of Congress.
Fax or e-mail the letter,
if possible. Postal mail to the
U.S. Congress has slowed down considerably after increased
security. Constituent letters can take several weeks to reach a
specific congressional office. You can still mail a letter, but need more lead time
for delivery.
When using the e-mail forms
for your representative and senators, please carefully follow
the instructions as given. Members of Congress will only accept
e-mails from their respective constituents and some forms also
employ verification techniques to guard against spam.
