Poll question: How often do you contact your representatives in Washington D.C.

I normally send an e-mail every week. If there is a hot button issue or important vote, I will call and write an e-mail to have it documented. I've become quite friendly with the staff of Gus Bilirakis (R-FL). I think it is really important to take the time to write to our House Reps and Senators. My House Rep is very responsive, and I always get a letter or phone call in response. At first they were just general "Thank you for your interest blah, blah, blah". Now, they are often detailed and in depth with real answers and with citations quoting certain bills that are being enacted for this and that. I also write Gov. Crist's office on a regular basis. His responses are slow in coming back.
