Let me bitch about Sen. John Cornyn and his restrictions on web activism

His “click-through-to-website,” where web-generated e-mails such as those from environmentalist groups to which I belong, cannot be directly sent to him from the environmentalist group’s action page but must be followed up with “clicking through” to his official website and then being posted there, is a pain in the butt.

Yes, it may slow spamming, but I have the gut instinct its primary purpose is to try to cut down on activist e-mails from people who don’t notice they now have to do the click-through action.

Any other senators doing this? Representatives? Is this a partisan thing, or something fairly equal?
