To just add the CC line to a reply takes about 30 seconds.

Quite a bit, and not much.  One letter, with exact clones becomes - one 
more of X, they just count.  It takes about 200,000 letters to create a 
petition.

We should also participate in the alt.child-support newsgroup.  This has 
a much wider circulation, is monitored by the political campaigns, and 
could be a source of more support.

Remember, Bill Clinton has used "dead-beat-dads" to pull his stressed 
governership out of a nearly-certain defeat.  Writing directly to him 
alone is like letting him know exactly how his enemies think.  Remember 
President Nixon's list?
