here is the first draft of my letter

"I am writing concerning the recent activity of the DOJ in relation to online gambling. I am voting member of your constituency, insert other personal info that makes you sound normal here, and as a recreation I play poker online. It is unfathomable to me why the DOJ is pursuing online poker (interestingly, off track betting on horse racing is specifically exempted-thus eliminating any moral rational the DOJ may claim that this is a crusade against gambling) when there are far more significant, and clearly illegal, injustices that are condoned by the DOJ’s lack of attention.
I encourage you to investigate this reckless activity by the DOJ. If you are as rationale as your voting record suggests, I predict with you will agree with my position that the DOJ activity is asinine. Furthermore, I encourage you to support the regulation and taxation of those in the business of providing online poker rooms. It would be a reliable source of funding for the government in these challenging times. Interestingly, to the best of my knowledge, every legitimate online poker room supports the regulation and taxation of their business by the US government.
I am resisting the urge to rattle off why I think the DOJ’s actions in this matter are wrong. Instead I urge you to become informed of this issue and come to your own conclusions. Thank you for your time,"
