I live in Texas, around Houston. Here we certainly do have representatives (but not members of the Senate) who send mail to constituents with information. Our Senators send emails once in a while, if you sign up for them.

But good luck ever figuring out the real information from the spam and ~~malicious dis~~incorrect information and opinions.
