But I think it's still worth attempting to contact them personally (in addition to a letter) if you have a constructive message. But odds are better with a Rep. than a Sen.

The message in the OP is just a nebulous rhetorical gripe/accusation. I wouldn't expect any politician to respond to it whether it was in a letter or in-person.

Precisely, what can he respond to? You don't really make any specific complaint.

And you do have one. Make your case for why you think corporations should not be seen as persons. I, personally, think you misunderstand the nature of a corporation but that's not the issue here.

If you really want to do something politically the first people to talk to are not politicians anyway, but other voters. One letter is going to be ignored, 100 or so will get noticed.

Yes, it's a complaint because I have written in the past, I have called in the past and I feel I am a constituant and therefore should have the right to speak to my representative in the Senate.

As for the part in Bold, the nature of a corporation is to profit at any cost. Please inform me if you think it is anything else.
