3. Great form letter, but I recommend tailoring your own.

Personally, I've thrown in the PeeOTUS own words, and my representatives words into it to try to make the case. I fully expect the slimy piece of shit that represents my district to vote for it, but the letter's there regardless.

Representative Culberson,

As a member of your district, I am watching the development of the AHCA with great interest.

I am holding both yourself, and our great president to your promises, and fully expect you both to hold true to them.

“We’re going to have insurance for everybody. There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.” - President Donald Trump, January 8th, 2017.

From your own website, and promised at your last town hall:
"Making health insurance companies compete nationwide, across state lines."
"Guaranteeing people with pre-existing conditions can get affordable coverage."
"Providing a universal tax deduction for buying health insurance."
"Empowering families with tax-free Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). "
"Increasing transparency in billing so consumers know what they are paying for."
"Enabling small businesses and other groups to pool their coverage."
"Reducing the doctor shortage."
"Giving states flexibility to improve Medicaid through innovation."

Does the bill Provide for the promises that both yourself and our President have made?

From what I'm hearing on news reports, it would appear it falls way short of just about every one of those promises. I trust in you to keep to your words, and vote in line with them when this bill is presented for your vote within the chambers of Congress.

With regards,

Made me want to throw up when I typed out "great president", but.. appealing to the audience and all that. Figured the end result is worth more than my pride and self respect.

7. Definitely tailor your own letter.

Great letter!

4. I just drafted an email to my rep and got a 404 error when I tried to send it.

Oh, and his voice mailbox is full and he refuses to hold a town hall meeting with his constituents. I think I will plan a protest outside the asshole's church the next Sunday he is in town.

6. Interesting.

The interface didn't act the way it typically does for me (I use it all the time), but I didn't get any errors.
