  The problem is, everyone on slashdot would rather just complain 
on slashdot instead of actually writing thier representative a 
well worded letter.

I was actually thinking about this the other day. What about a 
slashdot sponsered letter writing compaign that gave people a 
tangible reward for writing a good letter to thier 
congress(wo)man.

They could have everyone write an email about what really matter 
to them, any topic, preferably a technological one as thats what 
scores points around here. Then have them mail them to thier 
representative and CC a copy to contest@slashdot.org as well as 
post it as a comment. Say, 10 highest rated letters win a free 
subscription (however many page views that is). The cost would be 
negligable, but the impact of tons of well worded emails coming 
 from intellegent people would have an amazing impact. So, 
editors, what do YOU think? --btw, the letters should be worded 
better than this post.

Further to add my two cents
