I'd prefer to use real email addresses for the congressmen instead of the email form tool provided by the state. That email form does not allow for any type of formatting and limits characters. Also, I'd bet that many of our congressmen and women have that email address set on ignore.

But a real impact can be made by printing 183 copies of your letter, signing it, stuffing it, and taking it down to the post office for a bulk mailing.

The below forms have all the Austin addresses in a format to be printed on Avery 5160 compatible mailing labels.

I am hoping that everybody concerned takes the time to at least consider this approach. Most Legislators receive such a huge volume of email that they make no promises about responding. But a letter or fax is another story.

I will be printing, stuffing, and mailing.

I just wanted to send email also (some prefer digital to paper).

All of their email addresses are a standard format, providing you know their names:

For Texas House members, it is: firstname.lastname@house.state.tx.us

For Texas Senate members, it is:
firstname.lastname.senate.state.tx.us

Also, I might suggest that you not copy a letter that someone else sent word for word. Change it about a little and use your own style and terminology. Give it a litle more personal flair as opposed to having it look like just a form letter.

I sent out a pot full of emails Friday and followed those up with 26 regular letters yesterday.
