I have also sent a letter. I must say, this is the first i’ve written to a congressman (i’m a budding 21 yr old who is finally fed up with my own ignorance about politics) and it feels great! I didn’t rewrite, but I added my own paragraph about why i thought it was important for them to finally take a stand on providing REAL knowledge. (Although I wonder what the likelihood is of each letter being individually read…)

Anyways, i’d like to thank you Violet, because if it wasn’t for this site- i’m not sure i would have ever heard about this act on my own, despite my efforts to follow the presidential race and political issues.

So glad to hear it – and yes, I agree about the letter. I rewrote mine too, with added perspective of someone who has been doing national sex crisis counseling for a decade.

But hey – even if we can just get people to click-click-click send, that’s fine by me. :)

Totally sent my letters.

Aside from the vitally important nature of this, there’s something so deeply entertaining about sending a letter about teens having sex to Eric Cantor. *snicker*

It’s a shame the default letter is so uncompelling though. I had to scrap it and rewrite it entirely.
