Description I tried to drop a quick e-note to Nancy Pelosi to ask her to stop breaking the law (Logan Act) through what Google called "her official Web site" and got turned down.

It didn't like my "right-coast" ZIP code. It seems that Nancy only accepts e-mail at her official Web site from constituents, claiming that it's "not professionally courteous" to do otherwise.

I suspect that when "America's Grandma" was a simple congressperson that might have been true, but now she has ascended to the heights of being speaker of the House, she is, through her own ambitions and actions at least, a much more "global" figure.

If you want to send an e-mail to Nancy, you need to either go through the common mail dump of the House at AOL -- that'll certainly get through! -- or try something else, perhaps involving stamps, but there's no assurance that a human will ever see your thoughts.

My problem with her, and with Jimmy Carter, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Bono and others is that they are violating the Logan Act, which very specifically prohibits any American not holding an office entitled to do so from negotiating or purporting to negotiate with a foreign power.
