Short, succinct and focused is the best way to get through to them.

There was no joke! Sadly, the lawyers make the money; not the defendants they represent or would appear to represent.

True on all points.

Like fuckup time?
In my "district", our congressman Chris Smith[R] takes time to setup public meetings. In my town, he seems to be here about 4 times a year to speak with the people. Sadly, this issue just came to light
after his most recent visit. If you have such an opportunity in your area/district, meet with your rep(s). Bring a letter along and meet your rep. and personally deliver the letter while you speak with him/her.
