Good for you Carole! I am a letter writer as well and not only do *I* feel better when I do this - many times it has proven to be helpful in spreading information and promoting change. I have only written a few to the newspaper - but I write LOTS to my congressmen.

E-mail will never replace good old letter writing in these cases I do not think!! It is easy to delte an e-mail but harder to dismiss a piece of paper (especially when it contains a CC: to other folks too.)
