Good going Helen !!!
I also write, and i call weekly @ 1-202-224-3121. On my phone bill the calls show up as a public service call and i am not charged for them.
I have wrote congress/senate many many times and i found it interesting that their return letters are almost verbatum. Congressman Hastert(speaker of the house) office says "The congressman doesnt care what the facts are, he'll never change his mind" unquote. How nice. A government that sends its population to war to make the world a more just place and he is not willing to do his part regardless of the scientific evidence. Fuckers.

Peace,
dai*ma

Say girl you're hotter than the hinges hanging off the gates of hell
Dont be afraid to turn to me if he dont treat you well
And by me i meant me so he laughed and he shook my hand
