From a political point of view, it is in the interest of more and more congressman to openly support this letter (which has lots of ticks: non-binding, popular, subtly-anti-Trump..)

Which IMO is a good thing. Practically, (ie. non-cynical for its own sake) we should ask as many senators for their opinion as possible, and make the FCC's position even more unpopular within Washington. Leading to (hopefully) more defection within FCC by members that worry about their future careers.

This is a remarkably optimistic comment. Ten Democratic congressmen writing a letter does not make the FCC's position more unpopular within Washington. Realistically, the letter could equally have the opposite effect, polarizing the issue further.
