Re: Udall Bill & Senator Santorum


Although Congresspeople do use form letters to respond to constituents, that
doesn't mean your mail is being ignored.  Every contact, whether by phone or
by mail, is usually tracked.  The best way to really get their attention is
by volume.  It's very difficult to ignore hundreds of letters and hundreds of
phone calls about an issue.  So get your friends and relatives to write to
them as well.  Then take the "form" letter you receive, copy it and send it
back with a note at the bottom to please respond as to whether or not they
are willing to cosponsor the Udall bill.  Several people have gotten great
results by making numerous contacts consistently over a period of time.
  Also,  develop a relationship with the staff person who handles health
care, to get feedback as to the Congressperson's decision.
