Thread: Way to get through to all the staffers!

Troup this is your website? Yes it works great. Made my life alot easier. Thank you.

Yep, I built it.

Long ago I used to fight against H-1b and L-1 visas replacing American workers; in our case mgmt ordered us Americans to train our foreign replacements.

I'd call Reps/Senators and get their emails; then I figured out the pattern. Then I wrote some code to "data mine" staffers names; wrote a bit more code and developed the system.

Hope it gets a lot more people to use it.

I HATE those bastards in DC! With a passion! When you expose yourself to stand up for your fellow co-workers; then your congressman uses you to get more donations from the company using congressional visas to replace their IT staff! It ^@%@# burns me up! I despise Washington DC. both parties, every last one of them.

Though I'd like to say what I'm doing is rocket science; it's not. I just figured out the pattern to their email addresses, data miined them off the internet and built a database.

For the Senate it is FirstName_LastName AT SenatorName.senate.gov
House FirstName.LastName AT mail.house.gov

I'll update the database and mark those above as invalid emails. Yesterday was a good day, lots of hits. Today already looks like it is going to be much better. Keep up the good work.

FWIW, the hits from housegate10.house.gov are increasing too. That says people in the house are beginning to wonder where all the emails are coming from. Google this "Email Congress Staff", we're number 1.
