Every congressman and senator is bombarded every day with online petitions and the like, and knows that it's trivial for every issue group and lobbying firm to generate thousands of emails for or against any issue. Hence all that stuff put together now has less political impact than just one actual personally-written hardcopy letter or a handful of phone calls to legislators' offices.

I will let you know if they do contact me with anything that contradicts what I have above.

Any update on their prices based on organizational size? I thought their app was great as well and was also a bit reluctant at the price. Any update on their prices based on organizational size?
