When mail is sent to the State Senate, do they really read the letters?

Should take about two days, if mailed before pickup.\n\nI've found (for some unknown reason) that letters move faster if mailed Saturday AM from the post office.\n\nThe main post offices do work around the clock sorting mail and that sort of thing.  Mail, of course, is not delivered around the clock.

NO, only postal mail.\nIt says so clearly in the regulations.

i used to do it for a living... lots of letters can make a difference. but press makes a bigger difference... organize a letter writing campaign and send a press release to a local paper... politicians only react to that which can affect their reelection... most politicians just want to try to represent the wishes of the democratic majority of their constituentss. so don't waste your time writing to pol.s that don't represent you... don't wast your time writing if you don't vote... because they won't care...\n\nbut of course, like all politics, the most effective pushes are money and the vocal minority...

California (as well as a few other states) have what is called referendum votes where key issues can be presented to the people depending on how the issue arrived in Congress.  The federal government doesnt have this system.  That is why we have a representative democracy government in the first place.  If you want to speak out on one side of a particular issue - write a letter or e-mail to your rep or senator.  They actually respond back.  I have e-mailed them on a number of occasions and they really do like to hear from their constituents.  Just make sure you are writing something logical and rational or give a personal experience.  Dont say something like "you f*ck*in idiot vote against this stupid f*c*ing bill" or they wont listen.  But they do listen when people write heart felt letters and e-mails stating their opinions.  I have worked with numerous members of our elected government - despite what most people think - they really will listen

That would be according to the mail client...Each uses a different symbol.

It varies from state to state.\nIn SC, you have to look in the paper, I'm told, but in Colorado the state issues it on a weekly basis.\nLet me know if you're in CO. I have it sent to me.

You'll see their logo(name&emblem or mascot) on the envelope.  When you open the letter it will clearly say if you got in or not.  They don't beat around the bush.

Thanks for posting this info.\nHopefully the rest of the senate will take heed and listen to what the citizens are saying.

Is it any different than going through somebody's used mail?  \n\nI think that it is widely considered to be in bad taste at the very least and perhaps immoral to read somebody else's mail whether it is in the trash or not.  \n\nAs for the legality I would assume that it would be the same as looking at printed information on paper and that would depend on your jurisdiction and the circumstances.

They have to Prove you DID get the letters. NOT the other way round!  They should have been sent recorded "signed for" delivery!  Appeal!

I work in an accounting firm and I know for a fact that they are direct deposited only on friday's.  Which i will assume means that they are also only mailed on friday's.  the state check doesn't have a set day.  they come whenever.
