Here is a very effective german platform for not only contacting, but also making the answers to questions visible: the site - http://www.abgeordnetenwatch.de/ http://www.abgeordnetenwatch.de/ the code - https://github.com/parliamentwatch/parliamentwatch https://github.com/parliamentwatch/parliamentwatch the site is in german, but you might guess the content with a little help from an online translator. It is very popular and linked to from the biggest german online media. It might be an indicator for it's success that several conservative politicians tried to fight this site with all kinds of tricks, but they still did not succeed :) Unfortunately the code is drupal, it certainly would be much better to convert this to some more flexible framework like pyramid or django, but it works. It might be a much better alternative to make questions to congressmen publicly visible than just sending stuff into spam-folders of people that do not have interest at all in being contacted by "the people".
