Your Attempt to Reach Your Elected Official Cannot Be Completed as Dialed...

I just keep racking up more and more reasons to want Rick Santorum out of office. Here's the lastest, as expressed in an email which I attempted to send through his website...(And hey, check out the second listing that comes up when you Google "Rick Santorum")

Dear Senator Santorum:
Yesterday, as I do quite often, I signed an on-line petition sponsored by the National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) in effort to express my feelings to you about an important environmental issue. After sending the petition via the NRDC website, I received an automated email from your office stating that the email I sent could not be read because it had not been sent directly through your website.
As I am sure you are aware, countless interest groups generate on-line petitions for their members to forward to their elected officials. It's one of the great things about the internet - the ability to reach people so quickly and efficiently. Why is your policy to block these vital channels of communication between yourself and your constituents?
If you want to be re-elected, you really ought to practice listening to the people who will be casting ballots next November. Rest assured, mine will not be cast for you.

In the mean time, pay the NRDC site a visit and see what they are talking about.
