Don Marti has created some code that makes a blog entry into a letter to Congress. Anyone want to make this for WordPress? Justin, Corey?
It’s a familiar complaint. “You web weenies blog until your hands fall off from carpal tunnel syndrome, but when it’s time to write a letter to Congress, you don’t have the time or you’re all elbows with the word processor.”Well, it’s time to stop that sorry situation right now. Here’s a Blosxom flavour to turn any Blosxom entry into a letter to the appropriate member of Congress. Preview, print, and stick it in an envelope. Thank you.

Justin, every organization with a decent web budget has an “email your Representative and Senators” form. Everyone in Congress is getting deluged with email. A postal letter counts for more.
With the right “theme” or “flavour” you can use the blog tools you normally do, then when you’re near a printer, just view as letter, print, sign, and send.
