Very cool idea. Certainly makes it easier to engage with our politicians, hopefully in a more meaningful way.<p>They place a lot more weight on letters than clicks on an online poll.<p>I could see something like this being very helpful for NGOs focused on lobbying on behalf of their constituents e.g., they could pre-pay for a certain number of letters to be sent out, provide a coupon code and a sample&#x2F;fill-in-the-blank letter to their members, then the members could, in seconds, send out an email to all of their reps. This could be a powerful tool.<p>Also, nice UX and love the price transparency. Doing this as a 501(c)3 is also a nice touch. Bravo
