US House Limits Constituent Emails 581
Plechazunga passes along this note from The Hill: "The House is limiting e-mails from the public to prevent its websites from crashing due to the enormous amount of mail being submitted on the financial bailout bill. As a result, some constituents may get a 'try back at a later time' response if they use the House website to e-mail their lawmakers about the bill defeated in the House on Monday in a 205-228 vote."

This is another GWBUSH Texas Stampede, and I am while I am on the Left I don't think we need it. It's an open bar at an AA meeting. the market is way over inflated and houses need to start selling for much less.
