Petitions Petitions, like postcards, are not accorded the same level of importance as written letters because petitions are neither personal, individualized nor unique. Still, they are a tangible expression of constituent sentiment and can be effective when there is a large signatory base. Faxes Faxes should be used only if it is necessary that the legislator receive the constituent communication that day due to imminently pending legislation. Please be aware that too many faxes can tie up the legislator's office and create ill-will, so please use this method sparingly. Perhaps the quickest way to write a member is by e-mail.
Most Congressional offices are Internet accessible.
