Did any of you get a response like this after emailing your representative to say “NO” to the bailout?

“Subject: House of Representatives is limiting constituent email due to volume
Please be advised that the House of Representatives is currently imposing limits on inbound communications from constituents because volumes are so high that Congressional websites and web forms are becoming non-responsive. A limit on the number of emails that can be sent via the “Write Your Rep” web form system (the software that a majority of Representatives use to power their web forms) is being imposed during peak email traffic hours. Clients may want to adapt their campaign timing or switch contact methods (to phone) to avoid delivery disruptions due to these limits. The throttling is dynamic, so unfortunately there is no simple guidance we can offer that will ensure delivery. The throttling is likely to remain in place until the end of the current legislative session.”
I didn’t, but my representatives were the idiots who were part of this problem, I doubt they ever saw my emails and they probably ended up in the trash
It sounds like DC needs another million man march; even better, how about one on Wall Streeet? Perhaps, then our (s)elected leaders, their lobbyist cronies, and Wall St. tycoons would have no other choice but to pay attention.
I didn’t even get that much.
Just crickets.
