my suggestion is to use the wiki to make:
1.  statement/letter that people are comfortable with, 
2. get commitments to sign (from within & without civicaccess)
3. make a list of who it should go to
4. send it

there's a draft up here:

Just fyi, my limited experience with letters & politicians is that 10 personalized letters are much more powerful that 10 copies of the same letter signed by different people.

   I believe your suggestion is to take Daniel's letter, modify into a 
simpler sample letter, and add it as one of the letters people can send 
from the DCC website?

   I'm wondering what of Daniel's letter is the core message, or whether 
it should be kept in its entirety?
