The ‘Other’ Washington
You will be able to e-mail your questions or concerns to our senators and representatives from these sites. Snail mail to their offices is extremely slow, all US mail is sent to a clearing house to check for any contaminants or other dangerous elements. Typically a letter via the mail takes three weeks to get to their offices. If you plan on visiting the Nation’s Capitol, contact their offices six months in advance for tour tickets to such locations as the White House, Capitol Building, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, Pentagon, and the Kennedy Center.
