I think many of you are missing the point of this. It's foolish to assume that a US Senator is going to be influenced in any way by such a foolish gesture. It's like believing that a letter you write to one of these figures will be read by him/her. OK, there's a chance of it, but only if it's been read/approved by several staffers and has worked it's way up the chain.

No, this action is not meant to have any influence at all on such a microscopic scale. It's being done with the slim hope that the story will be picked up by the mainstream press. If such a thing were to happen, it may help to spark intrest in the general public or even educate the masses about the issue. Until it makes the mainstream press, don't expect any Senator to even acknowledge the issue, let alone accept the gift.
