Fake letters to Congress

This helps explain why Congress is so hard to communicate with:

Stephen Miller, president and CEO of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, said he was “outraged” by a report that an employee at Bonner & Associates faked at least six letters from two minority groups based in Charlottesville, Va., that were sent to Congress. The Daily Progress in Charlottesville first reported on the forgeries.

What works is thoughtful, personal communications from constituents the elected official knows and cares about. Not easy to generate, but powerful.
