Anyone notice a problem with the letter opposing reappointment of Rogers failing to make it through?
I received a message (I use hotmail) that it has failed for 4 hours now, but will continue to be attempted for the next 5 days. The message showed up in my junk folder, vice my inbox. Odd.
I hope we don't have some crackpot environmentalist computer junkie creating BOTS or some other software bug to keep these letters from getting through. Not to sound paranoid, but it is certainly possible in this day and age.

We're working on it. We overwhelmed the email server or otherwise shut down the email address used by the governor's designated staffer.

Job well done!

GAME ON!

Get those emails going again on the Keep America Fishing website.

If you sent your email in the late afternoon or evening, please send it again.

Keep America Fishing is collecting copies of the emails, so any further technical hiccups won't be an issue. If necessary, KAF will hand deliver hard copies.

I resent my request to everybody in my email list to send in the letter today, since it is now working. Hopefully, it won't happen again, as my non-fishermen friends may not want to do this multiple times:)

I received a failure notice that was the same as last night, after the problem was to have been resolved. What gives? Is this going to happen every time we send big amounts of letters their way?
