I have written a lot of politicians about victims' rights since 1991. It has usually been the Republicans who do more than just lip service. That varies a lot though from politician to politician.
I have not written any politicians though about anything since around 2004. I kind of dropped the whole thing after moving to the Villages.

Your mistake, or maybe it's actually your bias, is shown in your classification of Martin as a victim of murder. If you would just refer to his death with the appropriate term of "homicide", you wouldn't catch so much grief.
By the way, you are really close to asserting that Zimmerman has to be proven innocent instead of the state having to prove him guilty of wrongful death in any verdict. That's not the way the justice system is supposed to work.
Or do you care?
