I signed on last night to and let Heather Wilson (R-NM01) know how I feel. I cannot imagine it moving her but at least she knows where I stand.

Update:
Sen. Bingaman, however, responded and here is an excerpt from his form letter:

As you may know, I am a cosponsor of S. 576, the Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007, which was introduced by Senator Dodd and has been referred to the Committee on Armed Services. Passing this important legislation would ensure that detainees are treated consistent with our obligations under domestic and international law, by providing fair trial procedures for individuals tried before military commissions. In addition, the bill restores the writ of habeas corpus for individuals detained by the United States. I have also cosponsored S. 185, the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act of 2007, which was recently proposed as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act of 2008. Unfortunately, the amendment was not adopted. You may also be interested to know that I recently cosponsored an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act of 2008, that requires the President to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. However, this amendment was not voted on.

As a U.S. Senator I took an oath to uphold the Constitution, even in times of war, and I believe that we can fight terrorism without abandoning our longstanding commitment to human rights and the rule of law.

It is very refreshing to see an elected official acknowledge the oath to uphold the Constitution. Would that more of them remembered their sacred obligation.
