I'd guess that less than .00001% of the youth, or any other generation has written to congress.

Careful on the zeros... .00001% of 318,900,000 people (current population of America) is 31.89 people, and even rounded I suppose they get a few more than that.

Ah yes, the percent tripped me up. I was thinking maybe a few thousand letters.
