Unsubscribed from Rehberg's Constituent List 6 Times in the Past Week

by: Matt Singer

Fri Feb 19, 2010 at 10:48:09 AM MST


Someone -- I can't be sure whom -- has unsubscribed me 6 times in the past week from Congressman Rehberg's official constituent email list. I contacted his office and got a (fairly jokey) email in response indicating that they were not responsible for this. It started happening after I wrote a piece critical of the Congressman's constituent emails on reducing the deficit by cutting taxes and increasing spending (I think I had a fair point).

Like I said, I'm not sure who's doing this and I can't really point the finger at the Congressman's office. It would take an amount of work I'm not interested in undertaking to get to the bottom of this, especially since it is easy enough to maintain a subscription through other means.

Regardless, this sort of crap -- the inclination to stop debate by cutting off critical voices -- bothers me in most forums (which is one reason why I've allowed comments here to become so absurd at times), but it is especially reprehensible in communication media paid for with taxpayer dollars.
