Here's your chance to protest ITAR and whatever other CPUNK thing you feel worthwile. Enjoy! CONGRESSIONAL MAILBOT SERVICE This service is provided to make it easy for you to get your message to all members of the House or Senate that have E-Mail mailboxes. By sending a single message to the service addressed at HOUSE@MAILBOT.COM and/or SENATE@MAILBOT.COM, your single message will be expanded and resent to all members of those specified houses as if YOU had E-Mailed each and everyone of them yourself. Any E-Mail responses to your inquiries will be sent directly back to your own E-Mail box. WHERE DO I SEND MY E-MAIL TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? In order to use this service, you need to address your E-Mail to one or both of the addresses listed below. FOR MEMBERS OF TU House@Mailbot.com FOR MEMBERS OF THE US SENATE: Senate@Mailbot.com WHO WILL RECEIVE THIS E-MAIL? Your incoming message is sent to all currently known members of congress that have E-Mail mailboxes. The Congressional Mailbot System updates it's list of members of both the Houses every 30 days. At that time, new email addresses are added to the Mailbot Server. WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR MESSAGE? Most members of congress do not have the staff to deal with replies via both regular mail and E-Mail. Most would prefer to reply to your specific request by way of regular postal mail. In order for them to do that, you need to include your NAME, ADDRESS, CITY & STATE so that they can send you a response. WHAT NOT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR MESSAGE? Basically, your message should be short and to the point. It is not wise to include large amounts of text from other sources. If you want to point out to them about such sources, simply tell them where you saw it. Imagine getting hundreds of email messages containing the same material over and over. The meaning gets lost. Make your message clear and easy to read. WARNING Each member of the House or Senate which receives a message from you via the Mailbot, will respond with a reply message. THIS CAN GENERATE A LOT OF EMAIL INTO YOUR MAILBOX. If for example, at the time you send your request to the Mailbot, there are 130 members of the specific house you select, you will get back 130 reply messages from those members when they receive your message. Currently, the automatic replies are about 750 bytes in size and only contain a header with no message body. These replies are sent to let you know that the Congress Person you sent the message to, has received it in their E-Mailbox. Some users use systems that only allow so much email per month for free and then charge for email sent/received after that! IF YOU CANNOT HAVE THIS AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IN YOUR MAILBOX PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! WHAT IF I WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE TO A SPECIFIC Congress Persons? THEN YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS SERVICE! This service is for E-Mail intended for ALL members of the House and/or Senate. Individual messages to specific Congress Persons should be sent by other means. LIMITATIONS: This is a very popular tool.... Several rules need to be enforced to ensure that this service does not overburden the systems that are connected to it. The following rules are in place... 1 The Mailbot will reject any message that is larger than 5,000 bytes in size. This provides you with a total of 66 lines of 80 columns per line for your message which is a whole page of information to make your point. 2 Please limit usage of the mailbot to no more than one message per 72 hour period (one each to HOUSE and SENATE is ok). 3 Abusive and obscene messages violate the purpose and spirit of this service and WILL place the originator of such messages on a rejection list. Users who cannot abide by the above limitations will be placed permanently on a rejection list and all further attempts to use the service will result that user's messages being rejected by the service.
