Send all the emails, witten letters, and hateful voicemails to their offices all day long, if that's what floats your boat, but their private property and private lives are off limits, and so are their off-hours. You take your hatred of my to my home, and now you're a threat to me and my family, and that's about when you and I are fixin' to go 'round and 'round. Yes, even elected officials have a right and reasonable expectation of some privacy. When I elect a representative, senator, or president, that give me no more right of access to that person's private life than an employer has of accessing an employee's private life. There are limitations to these things, and when people with no sense of proper boundaries or a functioning moral compass violate them, then there ought to be consequences, just as for any common stalker.sjfcontrol wrote:Harassing a politico is one thing, but harassing an attorney?

Chill-out TAM -- I was just hav'n some fun. Besides, if you can't harass a politico, who CAN you harass?
