What method of contact gets more attention from Congresscritters?

[raccoon]

I have my own hunch, but want to see what others think.

If you've had direct experience working for a politician, or are/were an elected politician, please weigh in.

If you haven't, of course, weigh in anyway. :-)

1. Direct deposit notification by email. No muss, no fuss. nt

3. +1000. n/t

[enlightenment]

8. Yep. I suspect some large denomination greenbacks slipped directly into their

pockets would earn a second or two of their attention, as well.

[Vincardog]

13. Or Cash in plain envelopes no paper trail no evidence of the bribe

2. Mass emails don't work

Unfortunately.:(

[raccoon]

15. ITA. nt

[librechik]

4. faxes or letter, or go in person.

phone calls, too.

[MADem]

9. I agree--phone call to "constituent services," followed by fax of letter

later snail mailed, and a face-to-face contact at either a town hall or the legislative office (either locally or in DC, but get on the schedule first).

5. A swift kick in the ass.

[Davis_X_Machina]

6. Fax. Old-fashioned...

...but it's paper, like snail-mail, you can wave it at someone, but fast, especially in this post-anthrax world. The phone number's on the top, so they can see that you're in district.

10. what I was gonna say.

No security concern, and there's a hard record of your contact.

[BlooInBloo]

7. A sharp slap in the face.

[mod mom]

11. Dollars from corporate lobbyists.

:mad:

[NYC_SKP]

12. Sexual contact, for many of them.

Like, DUH!

:P

[mmonk]

14. Money from lobbyists.

[damntexdem]

16. Other: donations and other bribes.

Money talks loudest.

Now, on a less-cynical level, working on someone's campaign gets their attention.

[Fumesucker]

17. Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money..

Did I mention money?

[alfredo]

18. In small unmarked bills.

[Individualist]

19. $$$
