I feel like you wrote this for me!

But I'm almost not that self-conscious. Almost.

So, since you might as well have written it for me, some questions:

How is writing letters better? Instead of 5 million signatures we have 5 million letters, right? Which go to who - the secretary of the Congress critter, or say, elector in question, right? They do have secretaries, I'd think?

Should they clear extra rooms in their offices to hold these letters? Will 5 million people write a letter instead of signing an online petition? Should they? Will the Congress critter, or say, elector, ever read any of them or just leave them for the secretary to file or toss? Are there laws which govern what happens to our letters?

Will 5 million people write to all the Congress critters, or say, electors, individually when an online petition can rather neatly target them all at once and save everyone, letter receivers included, a lot of time and trouble?

If I was to write to the electors, for example, do you know how many there are? Hundreds of electors. Hundreds of letters to write, put individual names on, envelop, stamp and mail.

You're serious, I presume. I mean, I am, too. What is the point of having the Internet if it can't save us time, trouble, money, and paper?
