but isn't this different? There is no overt effort to 'collect' any of this kind of information at congress.org. And as you also point out, they only divulge the city of residence, no "personal information about you...as long as you do not include in the body of the message."
From what I see in the COPPA info, it seems pretty clear that congress.org is not, by any stretch of imagination, a forum intended to cater to children.
We don't know the age of this writer, it could well be 17 (too young to vote, according to the author) or possibly much lower, and of course the possibility it was written by an adult under the nom de plume of an adolescent for obvious reasons is clear as well. In fact, I rather suspect that is the case.
In any case, whoever did create the letter did so with the obvious intent to have hir address included. (It could well be from a 9th grader just learning secretarial skills which would include just such a salutation and header for a formal letter.)
Maybe somebody will write a snailmail to that address and find out.
