I think email is better than snail mail in communication because:
Although sending an email to your representative may not provide them with a hard copy of your letter, it is a much faster method of communication. It is also less expensive, since it does not require you to purchase a stamp, envelope or paper. While you must wait several days for a letter to make it through the postal system to your representative's mailbox, an email arrives in a matter of seconds. In addition, emails are easier to scan, which means that the representative is likely to make their way to your message more quickly and with less frustration. Snail mail, on the other hand, requires more time to peruse, and representatives or their staff members are more likely to put off the task and let the mail pile up.
