America has become increasingly interested in e-mail. In 2001 Congress received more than 117 million emails, that is over 320,000 emails a day. In 2000 the total was tallied at 80 million, and the total from 2001 to 1999 took a staggering 186% jump.
The massive inflow of email has caused politicians to use alternative methods to respond to requests for information.
Technology is slowly revolutionizing the methods used to communicate with political figures. In the days of old a phone call or letter would be used to send a message. Now e-mail has become the dominant way of sending information to representatives. The total is growing from the inflow of campaigns that advise emailing and the increasing flow of users who consult their politicians on certain issues.
Another study shows that in April 2002 a total of 23 million Americans had emailed comments and questions to their representatives, unfortunately some of the massive influx comes from spam and duplicate messages.
Politicians used to use letters to answer email, fortunately they are wising up and now responding to email with email. This makes for quicker replies and more email actually processed. This also cuts down on duplicates since the message is sent in days or possible hours rather than weeks through the US Postal System. This helps to appease the massive storm of duplicate messages. Others have turned to forms rather than email; this cuts down on spam and helps to curb the amount of misdirected messages.
These changes have caused some lobbyists to evolve and redo strategies, and have caused more focused campaigns.
Email is a double-edged sword, it allows for easy and cheap communication. This allows for more meaningful communication, but it also allows for less intelligently thought out and cloned information.
