I did, although it was an MP and not a congressman (and I didn't write him, I wrote to him). There had been a horrific incident in my local gym where a swimming pool had been contaminated with DHMO, and a child had been asphyxiated as a result of it.

I never heard back from him, but I believe my local rag ran a story on it the next week.
