I know of at least 6 pipe clubs in my state that have written our represenitives. We're talking in excess of 2,000 people. All any of us got back was a stupid generic "we care and value your opinion" letter that was obviously a generic fill in the blank document. It didn't even once bring up the issues we were trying to bring to their attention....seriously I shared my response letter with many members from lots of different districts and locations. We all received the same crap generic letter....
Writing the reps will do nothing. Sorry to be a downer, just relaying my own expierences from doing battle here over tobacco legislation.
