The Proper Way to Address A Letter to a Congress (Not the way you would like to)

Below is the proper way to address both Senators and Members of the House when writing and emailing. I know most of you, like myself, have thought of many less respectful ways you would like to address them but we must use restraint if we are to be heard. I urge you to please write, not only your Congress-person, but all of them and express your views and remind them that they work for us and must abide by the Constitution. I am sitting here right this minute listening to the Senate on C-span 2 . I am amazed how many times I hear a Democratic talk about how they are doing what the people want when the polls clearly show this is not want the people want. I am not sure what "people" they are listening to but apparently they have limited hearing because the people, Americans, have made it clear what they want, and these Democrats aren't expressing those views. We need to make it clear what we want. We need to write over and over. We need to tell them to listen, get out, or we will get them out.
