CapWiz vs. VoterVoice
According to the CapWiz website, 85 percent of Members of Congress and a growing portion of state legislators use Web forms instead of e-mail to receive constituent communications.
That means mass emails with only a link to the website of your Member of Congress are unlikely to be successful since targeted respondents won't want to deal with the hassle and won't always know what to say - therefore likely not to complete the messaging.
Both CapWiz and VoterVoice are designed to work seamlessly with Congressional offices to make sure your message gets to the intended recipient. If you're considering an e-advocacy system, make sure you check out both of them.

I'd also recommend checking out AdvocateInteractive. They do eAdvocacy exclusively for nonprofits and political campaigns. I consult for them, and know they do a great job on contact congress apps and action alert programs at very reasonable (moderate) pricing. They license out their software to you, and can customize it.
