Ever since the first anthrax attacks, Congress' mail has to be inspected, and reports were coming out that this caused long delays in delivery.
Besides which, most Congressional staff know how to count yay and nay emails and calls, which are so much faster.
Let the Republicans write..we need to email or call.

I fear all our efforts fighting the TPP will have the same results.

even if we lose the first battle, and those that follow....until we finally win.

No matter how pointless it seems at the time.
