-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Politech] California's Sen. Feinstein no longer accepts email [sp] Date: Fri, 07 May 2004 17:54:38 -0700 From: John Gilmore <gnu@private> To: Declan McCullagh <declan@private> CC: politech@private References: <409874F0.4040003@private> Queen Diane Feinstein isn't blocking email because it contains spam. She's had this policy for months or years. She just doesn't want to hear from her constituents. She inherited a political machine that guarantees her re-election, so why should she care what her constituents think? The online activism email-your-senator services already use programs that navigate these dinosaur senators' web sites and post each citizen's message to them anyway. Someone at, say, www.politicaloutreach.com, could tell you exactly how it works. Perhaps some enterprising political outreach service will set up an email address for each senator who refuses to accept email -- and forward any mail they get at that address, through the unresponsive senator's web site.
