Congress email addresses?
Today since I was off work I was going to send an email to most if not all members of the house. I was going to start with the Tea Party telling them my total disgust, then the rest of the Republicans telling them to quit listening to the extremist of their party then the Democrats giving support not to give in to the wealthy and crackpots on the other side of the isle.

BUT, every website that has the email addresses ultimately directs me to the same site, the official site which requires you to enter your mailing address and prevent you from contacting any rep but your own. Normally, I wouldn't have a problem with this but since I am being held hostage by reps who I can't vote for but certainly cast votes which impact me I am rather pissed. :grr:

Do the members of congress have real email addresses as you or I do?

Does anyone know where that list is, if it exists?

I know I could probably enter wrong address to fool the system (if the system isn't somehow designed to detect this). Plus, there is probably something in the Patriot Act which makes it illegal and I don't want to spend the next 20 years in prison.

But, it isn't right that if I had $1M to give to the Rep I could contact them, but since I don't even have a vote to give these people, I am not a person. I have contacted the one Rep I am allowed to contact multiple times this week and haven't even received an auto reply. :mad:

2. Probably could call their local offices
by doing a google search or just concentrate on your representatives which can be found at House.gov & Senate.gov websites. There may also be a list of phone numbers on the Congressional websites.

I emailed mine on Thursday and the White House.

3. I sometimes use my addresses in my former homes in
different states. I have even used my parents' address (Michigan). That means I have contacted "my" senators and reps in Maine, Connecticut, Florida, and Michigan. With all the staff has to do, checking for a "constituent's" address is something I doubt they would do.
