I've invested the effort in building a contact database for members of government, as well as various tools to make personal direct-mail campaigns feasible to do. I've put them up on my blog page and made them available for use.
With these, I hope to enable and encourage members of the community to share their thoughts on Bill C-71 with the government, MPs of various caucuses, members of the Standing Committee on Public Safety (who will be discussing C-71 mid-May). I’ve built the solutions in these links to follow along the continuum of tech-savviness across the community, so pick the solution you’re most comfortable with have at it!
If you'd like just simple address lists you can copy & paste in making your letters, I've made those available on my blog page here:

If you'd instead like a solution on Avery address labels, they're available in this blog post:

If you'd like a little more ready-made approach, this blog post has all the tools and instructions laid out to do what I've done here - where the letter becomes its own envelope (trims a .huge. amount of time):

Finally, if you're totally comfortable with mail merge and consider your self tech-savvy, I'm gonna go all Frederick Banting here and make my database and the documents I used to make this mailing available to you open-source:

Good luck and please PM me if you have questions.
