I decided to write a form letter that you can use to write the President, your Senators and Congressperson. Please also use it to write the Presidential Candidates that are currently running for the Republican Nomination if you are so inclined. Please make sure to use their names and replace my signature name with your own. If you find it odd to call yourself a copyright holder, please keep in mind if you took a picture, or video you own the copyright to that; It is automatic.
Wikipedia gave us a nice link to look up the name and contact information of our Congressional Representative. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CongressLookup?zip= and here is the best way to email the President http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments
