A number of the Congressfolk websites I checked out suggested that emails 
from outside their constituency would be read, but not answered.  Wouldn't 
surprise me if they were just filtered, but I suspect it's a manual 
filtering Just In Case(tm).

Not useful; that's what I found before I posted.  From what I could tell 
there, Libby doesn't have an official Senatorial web presence yet.  Thanks 
anyways.

Actually, with the anthrax scares, I'd be surprised if the old-fashioned 
ways still held.  Something I read recently (today; maybe the EFF, or the 
article that sparked this thread) suggested that snail mail is no longer 
preferred.

Neither e- nor snail-mail would have the impact of a personal office 
visit, however.  Sen. Edwards at least holds a sort of open-office on 
Thursdays for No'Carolinians to drop in and speak to him, no appointment 
necessary.  This according to his website...
