If you have yet to peruse a copy of the book "America" written by the genii behind the Daily Show, I highly recommend it.
Also, since it looks like a textbook and school's just around the corner, I can say that the text will be mandatory this semester.
In the meantime, to whet your apettite, here is a sampling from the book....a template, if you will, for writing a letter to your Congressman.
The following appears on page 78 of "America". The following is parody. Say it with me. PARODY:
-----------

Representative or Senator's Name
Representative or Senator's Address
