It is super easy to fire off an e-mail; the effort required to write a paper letter says so much more. It says that you care enough about the issue you are writing about enough to devote 30+ minutes of your time, some $$ (the stamp), and possibly a drive to the nearest post office box to mail it. Paper letters mean a lot these days (more so now because less people write them).
I know a paper letter to your congressman (or woman) holds an order of magnitude (if not more) weight than a simple e-mail to them...
Like I said: at worst you're out some time & a stamp at best they hear you and do something about it.
