Building Online Petitions for NGO´s that emails directely to the Congress (as in savetheinternet.org)
Hello there!
I´ve been visiting the SaveTheInternet site.
Despite it´s a wondeful site with usability in mind and everything, I loved its way to allow people to send letters directely to the Congress using their site.
I´ve tried the Petition module unsuccessfully.
And I´ve tried the Webform module, wich could be good, but as it´s not meant to that use, it´s kinda hard to get the job done with it, I mean, I could add the representatives emails in it, sending them a copy of the form, but it looks like a "form", and it doesn´t look good.
I need to build a site pretty similar (in structure, not in content), to savetheinternet.
I´ve tried the Demo of civicCRM, but that module it´s focused in how to contribute economically to the cause, but I don´t feel I could use it to get petitions sing and sent by people... Maybe I didn´t get how does it work...
I would appreciate any help from you, any tip, anything.... :-)
Thanks!!

Same here
I'm also trying to look for the same module you are seeking. I read the petition module and it needs the civicrm to work. try putting them together (which is what I'm trying for the moment) and see what happens. I think the civicrm goes beyond raising funds...

One option for sending emails to congress
It's not integrated with Drupal but there's a free level of service:

looking for this type of module too
I would like to see a module like this too. I have found the CitizenSpeak module:
http://drupal.org/project/citizenspeak
However, it doesn't look like there's been any work on it in awhile, and the functionality is a bit limited for my needs.
I would like for the user to be able to enter their contact info (or have the info pulled from their profile) and have the form automatically send the message to the elected officials that represent them. Or, at the very least, they need to be able to select the recipient(s) from a list of options.
I also would like to see a Letter to the Editor-type module, like the one discussed here:
http://drupal.org/node/32674
I would like users to be able to post or link to articles related to a campaign and be able to send letters to the editor via a web form.
If only I had some programming skills.
