I feel very strongly that the Congressional Republicans are going to continue to obstruct you any way they can, esp. in regard to the fiscal cliff. Please do not let them continue to obstruct you. Do not yield to their unreasonable demands regarding raising taxes on the top 1%. Stand firmly against them. This is so important; you have a mandate. Use it! This is what we citizens want, and what the country needs. Do not try to accommodate them. They are not interested in compromise, ever. I cannot emphasize this enough. Thank you.

find out their official stance towards the police attacks on Occupy encampments. Never received any reply or even a acknowledgment that they had received mye mail. So not sure how effective email is.

I've never heard back from the White House.

However, I still think it's important that we use this tool to get our point of view across.
