it's been a decade since i heard someone talk about it but they do (well, did?) actually care about calls and physical mail to some extent. email is cheap and worthless, each person taking the time to call statistically represents dozens or hundreds of other people who might be pissed off enough to not vote for you.

pound for pound calling your senator's office over a specific issue is probably more effective than an in-person nonviolent protest if there's actually lib organizing around it.

you won't build socialism with it but you can tiebreak on things the bourgeoise aren't unified on like the TPP or SOPA/PIPA

Faxing also works just about as well as physical mail does and there are free online fax services out there.

i'd say what year is it but some of those guys probably think it's the 1980s
