Answer:
The U.S. Government provides a public database of contact info for your elected officials. Use it.
As Emily Ellsworth suggests in a New York Times article, phone calls from constituents are often more effective than emails because emails are depersonalized and easily ignored amid other overwhelming requests for contact.
Further, a strategically planned group call has the potential to inundate office phone lines and force a representative to issue a statement to help clear out communication channels. Ellsworth consolidated her six years of experience as a congressional staffer into "Call the Halls," a guide to effectively contacting representatives.
Your representatives will hold local Town Hall events or Q&A sessions where the public is encouraged to attend and voice concerns -- these events are part of their gig. (Think: Leslie Knope's public meetings on Parks and Rec.) You can usually find info about when are where these are set to take place on local official websites or your representative's website.
