Yikes, please click on the link and do submit to your reps. Very easy to do. This kind of save the children labeling almost always gets voted in, so this is an uphill battle, but this is clearly a power grab, don't let them take this, the implications are quite frightening. If policies like fosta / sesta can become reality, this can too. Things are degrading rapidly, fight it!

One of my Senators is Marsha Blackburn, whose photo is used in this cal to action. She will tell me that I'm stupid and should support the bill, and then I'll be on her GD mailing list again (it is very difficult to get removed from that list).

SimpleLogin or Anonaddy, bro. DuckDuckGo has it too possibly

I'm just now learning about SimpleLogin. Something to look into when I don't feel like I've just exited a 10 hour nightmare after work.

Why don’t you just redirect her shit to spam? Mail subscriptions are a two way hand shake, if you don’t agree to it just send her domain to spam.

That's probably what she does with my mail when it arrives to her with the opinion of one of her constituents. Seems fair turnabout.

Should be filterable though. It's a very small vocal minority that even uses these automated letters to contact legislators. These don't go unnoticed. May feel like a drop in a bucket but I think it's best to go down fighting.
