Legislators do more than vote, though, and knowing what their constituents care about can drive what they put their energy towards.
Also, legislators are used to getting lots of complaints from people who don't like what they do, but hardly any praise from those who like what they do. A very little bit of positive reinforcement means an awful lot to them, especially because of it stands out because they get so few such calls.
P.S. Senator Feinstein seems to be entirely clueless about SOPA and could definitely use some calls. (that post is from ten days ago, so maybe she's figured something out since then... I hope)
