I once owned OutsourceCongress.org. Basically, it was a site to load up the staffers of Senators and Representatives and allow one to click once and load all the staffer email addresses of a Rep/senator into your mail client. Thus, I didn't send the emails, others did via their ISPs; so they couldn't block me or stop me either. It side-tracked(with ease) around their Contact Me pages at the House/Senate. Plus, you could email your issue straight to the people that matter(Chief of Staff), not some intern that just reads email and counts For/Against on the issue. It was a lot of fun; knowing the same jerks at Rep John Mica's office that mislead us and the Senators that ignored our issue (training our foreign replacement workers on L1 and H-1b visas, then getting laid off) were sometimes getting pounded with emails from all across the country. The best story was Senator Arlen Specter(PA). His chief of staff wrote back to someone saying he was going to turn her into the FBI for "threatening his people". She was a 60+ year old retired teacher. His threat to her made it on the radio here in Orlando, then onto multiple websites with my URL too. He got pounded with emails. My estimate was in 1000's per day, possibly more. I heard he couldn't use his phone(blackberry) because there was so much mail coming down to it. Eventually he changed his email address. They hated me and would constantly ask that they get removed from the list. This thread sortof motivates me to do it again.

This country is not about what's good for the country. It's about yourself. It's been that way for years. And it's not going to change. No one cares for you nor I. They only care for themselves. And most importantly, that includes the elected officials. Our country is not about fair economics. Our government leaders do what is good for themselves. They are mostly lawyers, they created a new industry for themselves, "immigration law" that puts Americans out of work. I lost my job to foreigners in our country. We were mandated to train them first. You need your job to be taken from you, just like ours was at Siemens ICN. You might have a different opinion afterwards. BTW, I've heard the "you're too dumb to work replies" and it's not true here. Those rookies from India had no clue how any middleware product worked. Not until they got a look at our products. ...and luckily I got another job.
