<div dir="ltr">I use them all the time. As for which sites to go to, it depends on the issues you're interested in "voting" on, and what your persuasion is. I also send a fair amount of emails and faxes to my elected officials through their government sites or through other websites (such as Congress.org). <br>
I have no idea if these sites use FOSS. <br><br>As far as if they work, I'm guessing you mean if they get results with politicians. I'm pretty sure they do because a couple years ago Congress tried to say they weren't going to accept comments from such sites. People got upset, and I believe Congress backed off the issue.<br>

would prefer a site that uses FOSS software, just because.<br>
<br>
There are sites on the web that allow users to enter a petition and to<br>
collect "signatures". Have any of you used these petition sites? Are any<br>
of them supposed to be better than others? I would be concerned mostly<br>
about sites that harvest email addresses or other information from<br>
signatories. Otherwise I just want to know that the site works.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
