[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1630292, member: 28912"] A call is always better and they do keep a tally. On the State level, 10 phone calls to your Representative is a flood to them. Elected officials do pay attention, particularly if the calls do not originate from the same location or household. As long as it is not a partisan issue, calls do make a difference. Emails and letters count, but not nearly as much as a call. The person answering the phone will report them to someone above them and that person will report the assimilated call count to, normally, the chief of staff. If you get called on a poll, then it makes a big difference because they all look at polls. The biggest impact can be if you know someone that works in the Offical's local field office or better yet in Washington (or your State Capitol). Personal contact with someone you know ensures that the message will get conveyed. [/QUOTE]
