I've written in to my representatives numerous times. I highly doubt my comments were even read, despite the canned responses you always recieve that say otherwise.

I also have serious trouble believing that political parties are at all interested in petitions. When did a petition affect policy? As for community groups, etc, what are people supposed to do? Maybe if you made it a full time job, you could get some media exposure. How many people have that much time on their hands?

It's hard not to feel jaded about the whole process.
