Email from Kay Granger, "How to grow our economy: Tell me what you think'
In all honesty, I doubt Ms Granger has anything to do with the way this plays out, but I just had to post this.
I received an email from her or so it led me to believe. Included in the email is a survey indicating what I think is needed to grow the economy. There were a number of things listed. In order to check the ones I felt were most important, it was necessary to reply. So I pressed reply, checked the boxes by the things I thought were needed and then I sent it.
Please note, there was an UN-CLICKABLE line 'Submit and join'.
So then I got this message:
"This email address is no longer active. If you wish to send Congresswoman Granger an email, please visit http://kaygranger.house.gov and click on Email Kay Granger. For immediate assistance, please call Congresswoman Granger's office at 817-338-0909 or 202-225-5071. "
Excuse me?
So now, if I want to let Ms Granger know what I think is needed, I have to go to the site mentioned, click email Kay Granger, copy everything from the email she sent to me and paste it into a form! After SHE sent me asking me to tell her what I think!
(In all honesty, there WAS a link to take the survey on the web, but paranoid soul that I am, I hardly ever click a link in email. Since I have never contacted Ms Granger or her office, this email seemed a bit 'spammy', and how did they get my brand spanking new email address to which this email was sent?)
I don't think so. What would you do?
Just another example of our incompetent Congress, or at least that is how it seems to me. At the very least there should be competent web/email handlers! But perhaps they feel the burden (once again) is on the tax payers to make our thoughts known. In that case they are right.
But don't do it this way!
