http://www.capwiz.com/nra/dbq/officials/  This link is provided by the National Rifle Association, which is the best engine we have found yet to identify and contact elected officials at the national, state, and local level.  The majority of people who have been elected want to be re-elected, they want to be liked, and they want to believe that they are doing what most of us want them to do.  Which means that if you contact them like a friend or neighbor, make your points in a compelling but non-adversarial manner, that frequently enough of them will end up voting your way that you've won the majority vote.  Concealed carry in Ohio and the Castle Doctrine are two cases in point, where we did not originally have the votes to override the Governor's vetor, but we convinced enough members of the Governor's own party to go against him to win this legislation.  No threats, just basic beliefs, values and reason.
