the article is more-or-less fine, but the headline is ridiculous

> one-man ... campaign

it's a website that drafts an email for you, and then you send it yourself. it's an organizational tool, yes, but broad involvement is sorta the point

> spam campaign

gross mischaracterization, citizens sending emails to their govt representative for legitimate purposes - making their political opinion known to the politician - is not spam under any sane definition



It's also not a "one-man campaign".

The whole point of it is that it enables a duckton of people to campaign against it in an easy way. And much more noticeable than a stupid change.org petition where you're just one of an easily-ignored number on a website.


Ok, we've removed spam from the title above.
