A good idea is to tell your Congrescritter that instead of saying "I'm not going to vote for you in the next election", say, "I'm not going to contribute financially to your campaign in the next election". This is, of course, if they don't vote favorably on pieces of legislation that you're concerned about.
Also, on top of sending snail mail, phone them as well. The Capitol switchboard numbers are 202-224-3121, 888-818-6641 and 888-355-3588. I guess you could e-mail them as well, but e-mail messages can be more easily ignored than snail mail/telephone.
Also, have you read your
Congressional Record today?
