Can a U. S. Senator put you on an "ignore" list?
I've emailed one of my Senators using two formerly good email addresses. They have been returned undeliverable. I have sent emails to my other Senator and they have gone through. Am I being blacklisted by my Senator? Has it happened to anyone else? These events occurred two weeks apart with two different email addresses.

2. I don't see Senators doing this
as it would be a great talking point for an opponant in the future ("He won't listen to his constituents"). I'm wondering if some Senators are changing their email addresses, though. That will be the excuse used, of course.

7. The one I've used twice in the past few days is listed in
the largest newspaper in the state (Mississippi). I've also used one I used in the past.

IF THERE IS SOMEONE FROM SENATOR TRENT LOTT'S OFFICE CHECKING IN HERE PLEASE PROVIDE A GOOD EMAIL TO YOUR BOSS SO I CAN COMMUNICATE WITH HIM. I KNOW YOU ALL DO NOT LIKE HEARING FROM ME BUT THAT'S TOO DAMN BAD.

3. Did you go through the Senate link? I think it's also possible
that his mailbox is full. I doubt you've been blacklisted. Most of them just ignore emails unless they get a LOT of one subject!

5. ignores do not come back undeliverable
they just get dumped..so i think it is more likely that the email address has changed. Something i have always wondered though, is if there is any way to know if someone has put you on "ignore"..does anyone know.

6. My senator, Harry Reid,
Edited on Tue Feb-21-06 03:35 PM by enlightenment
switched to an online email via his website. You can't use the regular one and get through. I think those just disappear into the cyber-void. He gave some long-winded reason for doing it (don't recall the details).
Your guy may have done the same.
on edit: OR gal (crips. and I AM one.)

8. Why I believe they can!
The good Mr. Cornyn seems to have managed to have done it to me, he damn well IGNORES me at any rate. I can't even get the satisfaction of an undeliverable e mail warning, mine just disappear into the ether.
