I sent a notice of publication of the Judy Morris "Kerry, the do-nothing Senator" to his senate.gov address. And it was promptly returned with the following message:
Subject: Thank you for contact my office
Thread-Topic: Kerry, the do-nothing Senator
From: "Kerry, John (Kerry)"
Thank you for contacting my office. In an effort to more effectively
manage the increase in the volume of e-mails received by my office and
to respond as quickly and thoroughly as possible, I am using a new web
based system that you can access through my web site at
"kerry.senate.gov". Just click on e-mail under the contact session of
the web site and complete the new web form.
The e-mail address john_kerry@kerry.senate.gov will no longer be
active. The message you just sent was not received and should be
resubmitted via the web form. Thank you for understanding and again
please feel free to contact me with any issues of concern. I look
forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
John Kerry
US Senator

My fax to Senator Kerry:
Dear Senator Kerry:
The disabling of your senate.gov e-mail is not a presidential act.
The message is clear, you don't want to hear from us. I rather spend the money to send you a fax, it's faster, and I'll have proof of delivery. Most important, I have a record of my fax to you in my e-mail program, so I can locate it even years from now.
Sincerely,
Christine Baker
