I was trying again this morning to email my Rep (Sam Graves - MO 6) to thank him for voting no on the the bailout yesterday. I tried last night and couldn't get the form to work so I gave it another try a few minutes ago. Several minutes after clicking the "send" button, I finally got this response:
The House of Representatives is currently experiencing an extraordinarily high amount of email traffic. The Write Your Representative function is therefore intermittantly available. While we realize communicating to your Members of Congress is critical, we suggest attempting to do so at a later time, when demand is not so high. System engineers are working to resolve this issue and we appreciate your patience.
I bet the American people haven't been this awake and politically active in decades. It's a wonderful thing to see. :)
