PG has heard about threats to censor the internet. He does not think this is a good idea. It was suggested that he send a message to his representatives in Washington. This turns out to be a bit easier said than done. When you try to get these addresses, you are sent to a form on a website. Mike’s Blog says “He likes you to use his web form so that he can route the email to the appropriate deletion folder. Don’t do that– use his real email address, which is: saxby_chambliss@chambliss.senate.gov. I assume that this will work with all senators, such as Johnny Isakson: johnny_isakson@isakson.senate.gov. If you want to have a lot of fun, make sure your email client is set to forward all email you mark as spam to your senators’ email addresses. Good times will be had by all…” With a bit of huffin and puffin, an address for Hank Johnson was found. Rep.HankJohnson@mail.house.gov.
The last time PG wrote Washington was before the war in Babylon. He wanted to go on record as being opposed to the war. His representative, Denise Majette, sent a long, thoughtful reply. She hinted that she agreed with PG, about the folly of a war, but said there was nothing that could be done. A few months after “Mission Accomplished”, Senator Chambliss wrote PG. The Senator thought the war was going just fine.
Subject: Vote NO on SOPA/PIPA
I Luther Mckinnon. I live in Dekalb County, just outside the Atlanta city limits. I am writing my three representatives in Washington about two pieces of legislation…the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the PROTECTIP Act (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate.
A free Internet has been an instrument for economic growth and military security. It is in our best interest to leave the internet alone.
I urge you to vote against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) , and the PROTECTIP Act (PIPA) .
Thank You
Luther Mckinnon
The fun starts when the automated replies start to come in. Hank Johnson requires that you use a form on his website, It is required that you enter the nine digit zip code, and a courtesy title. Saxby Chambliss sent a similar reply. Johnny Isakson was not heard from.
