The answer is obvious: if you’re in America, please phone, email and write a paper letter to your Congressman and Senator. Stop for a moment and do that now. Yes, you. Use the zipcode finder on Wikipedia. Then proceed with LessWrong.
Don’t mail paper letters to your representatives. Mail delivery to political elites in the US has been a nightmare ever since the anthrax attacks. Type and hand-sign a letter and fax it to your representatives if you want it to be read when it still matters.

(me, I’ve just had two days in the Wikipedia press storm. Apparently did well on BBC R4 PM yesterday evening (38:50 on). [That’s second only to R4 Today for serious political impact.] I’m now doing coding for work to wind down. In Ant. It’s like INTERCAL in XML.)

Hmm, I’d say do all of those things. Then get back to bikeshedding on the Internet ;-p
Thanks for putting your effort where your mouth is!
Well, I’m not American so I can’t take the direct approach :-)
