Assault on online organizing

The organizing internets are all afuss this morning over potential changes at the House of Representatives Write Your Representative feature which will treat grassroots organizations like spammers. The Chief Administrative Officer has proposed that reps use so-called logic puzzles to weed out the dastardly MoveOn.orgs of the world, which will also succeed in preventing the disabled from using the web forms.

If you've got a little time, I suggest contacting your representative to ask that she not implement this system. Given the circumstances, I don't suggest you use email to do so. Maybe a fax or two hundred, or a very long telephone call.
