I built the site because the only way to get what you want is by voicing that you want it. It's especially important presently due to an increasing disconnect between Congress and citizens. Our system of government functions best with a politically active population. Otherwise the will of the people is impossible to express and the laws become the will of the few.
I've mailed several letters to lawmakers and it's a tedious process, but ultimately necessary as letters actually stand out, while email blends into the noise. Removing the encumbrance of mailing the letter enables participation in government, something I believe in very strongly.

Have you thought about extending this to say city councils or mayor's office also.
There are tons of local small problems, which can be sorted out by city offices, only if they are pointed out in a positive manner, but people do not do so.
