[CWN-Summit] Re: Possible write in campaign for next year

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

I think original letters would have more impact - mass produced emails 
are filtered at this stage, and don't have much impact. If the issue 
isn't particularly urgent letters are probably best (telephone calls 
working better in urgent situations, for obvious reasons). In this 
situation, if we see an action as particularly easy, it will be viewed 
similarly by those on the receiving end, and so will be awarded little 
value or attention. Mass produced emails also risk being construed as 
an astroturf action.
