My area Forks Township lost Charlie Dent and now we have Matt Cartwright, he just got sworn in. I did find a phone number for his office in DC 202-225-5546.
He is a democrat ( poor guy ).

Yeah, he's my new rep, too. He issued a statement on his facebook page stating that an "assault weapons ban" is constitutional, and he will fully support efforts to ban them. I wrote a letter to him, just addressed to U.S. House of Representatives, since I couldn't find a direct address for him.

"Cartwright promised to work to better Northeastern Pennsylvania's economy and to fight to defend Social Security and Medicare benefits, which are likely targets for congressmen intent on cutting the deficit. He sat next to Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, the New York Democrat whose bill to ban assault weapons he plans to co-sponsor.
