The idea is that working-people, who rarely have the time even to sit down at a table and write letters, don't count if they use a mass-mailing service like this to help them along. The rep's think such people "don't care enough" to take the time.

I don't agree with this. I've gotten relatively good response from my rep, not so much from my senators, using forms from the EFF and other groups. I think the response has more to do with the fact that my rep. is more in tune with the EFF and such than the two senators from Colorado. The fact that someone takes the time to respond at all shows that person is informed and more likely to vote than people who don't bother in the first place.
