To contact/email a Congress critter who pretends to represent people, I can be from anywhere. I look up some town on the AAA road map, google zillow, find an address, zipcode, telephone-like number.

Indeed, it is not wholly honest. But then, no either is voter suppression, presidential lies, dishonest Cabinet, Agency & judicial appointees.
I think this is fair.
