Do form letters like this actually work? I see these types of things all the time, usually in a "Corporation X wants our lawmakers to pass Bill Y, and it's bad for people!" context.
Doesn't the EFF have lobbyists? I think history has shown enough times that lobby money is far more powerful than anything that's good for the citizens.
Form letters are, essentially, "half-read once and then weighed weekly to produce a report for $POLITICIAN", according to my brother, who used to be in constituent services.
Themes which come up frequently in non-form phone calls and letters, on the other hand, have a surprising amount of impact. The Republicans, for example, got a huge amount of negative feedback regarding immigration policy during the last election cycle, and more than one politician mentioned the depth and intensity of that (not always in a positive way) in signaling changes in their stance on it.
P.S. If you ever have a severe problem with the government and don't know where to turn, document everything, then call your Congressman's office.
GNU is an operating system. I believe that you're reaching for the GPL. Also, the EFF is not suing people; gpl-violations.org is. To the best of my knowledge (and Wikipedia's), they aren't associated. Perhaps you could explain the connection between the two?
It's pretty easy to confuse the two when you slap GNU in front of everything (including operating systems and licenses). Stallman even tried rename Linux a few years back to: GNU/linux
