Washington is broken...

...or at least its websites are.

I'd like to see Congress add a small appropriation to address the overloading of congressional websites. After numerous claims from people that they could not use their representatives' website to send a comment or concern, I tested it out myself with little success of getting any message to US Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Colorado's 7th District.

Short of wasting some poor office clerk's time on the phone to let Rep. Perlmutter know how I think about the bailout bill awaiting a House vote later this week, there's little way to delivering an immediate constituent sentiment short of going down to a local Perlmutter office and wasting someone else's time during this economic crisis (not to mention an election season, as well).
