Online petitions and emails take no time and effort
Which was my point. I could write a hand-written letter; if I have multiple congresscritters to address, I'll have to leave the name field blank on the first one to address each one individually, run off copies, fill in names, stuff into envelopes, add postage to each, mail them, wait for someone to read or toss...and does anyone read them? I still don't know. The cost, time and trouble, all for something a secretary probably either handles from start to finish or eventually passes on to congresscritter, is exorbitant.
How does something being cheaper, easier, faster, more cost-effective and less wasteful of earth's resources somehow make it worse, or not as sincere?
nor is there any any proof that multiple entries weren't done by the same person
This I absolutely agree with; in fact it's my only problem with the online version of writing to anyone.
They give me the Internet, but then I can't use it to do anything right...
