For those of you who can access the Web, you can get e-mail addresses for
Congress without going through an intermediary, by contacting the Library
of Congress (www.loc.gov -- I think) and using the "Thomas" legislative
service.  That way you can be sure that the addresses are up to date.

For what it's worth, however, I don't recommend e-mail as an effective
medium for communicating with Congress, unless it's absolutely a last
resort.  Generally speaking, a Congressional office pays attention to
correspondence in direct proportion to how much care the constituent gave
to composing the message.  In other words, they pay the most attention to
individual letters, then to FAXes, then to phone calls, then to postcards,
then to standardized pre-printed postcards, then to petitions.  E-mail
probably ranks somewhere around postcards. (Unless you actually know the
Member of Congress pretty well, that is.)
