And does the letter delivered by the Pakastani cab driver, even though it says Western Union, get into the Congressional offices? What kind of security is that? I'm not sure. I did not want to argue with you, jarubel. We are on the same side....want the same thing. I don't want to come off as a know-it-all, because I don't. I only stuck my nose in because I am involved in other political matters, both here in NJ and in Washington. I learned this information from the large groups that always have the Congressmens' ears, and also thier very own staffers. I do not know what happens when you send a letter to your congressman's office in your home state, but I'm pretty sure a well written letter fax'ed to his Washington office, and also mailed and stated so, is the way to go.

Used to, anyway. Who delivers the telegram to the Congressman's office? The local Western Union center? In my case, it is the Iranian immigrant who runs the little convience store.

How does that work, though? For $14.99, how does your message get to the person, and when does it get there?

However, all mail to Congress in Washington gets screened for anthrax, etc. They state a delay of at least 2 weeks, but it really runs about 6 weeks until they get your letter. FAX it to them.

I delivered a few myself when I was a driver for a taxi company, but that was almost 15 years ago. [/quote]
