When citizens send e-mails to their congressmen through the Web sites of lobby groups, they expect those messages to zip electronically to the place they intended.
It turns out that isn't always the case.
A new study by a company that routes thousands of these e-mails to Congress shows that plenty of constituent e-mails never reach lawmakers' offices.

This essay will reveal how the false flag operation of 9/11 will transform our nation and world away from a sick war based poverty imposing global order into an era of truth and hope that will begin a global healing unseen by humanity.
Being from Kansas and having written guest columns for the Kansas City Star, Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz metaphors come naturally for me. Fortunately for my essay, the Land of Oz metaphor is dead on.

On December 13, 2004, a month after the re-election of George W. Bush, twenty-five of the wealthiest donors in the progressive community gathered at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington for an important strategy session. The group had collectively poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the effort to defeat Bush--and had nothing to show for it. Yet the despair of John Kerry's defeat provided an urgent call to arms. "The US didn't enter World War II until Japan bombed Pearl Harbor," Erica Payne, a New York political consultant who helped organize the gathering, told the donors.

MANTON - Every week, Heather Deitrick and her 6-year-old son Spencer can be found sorting through fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs at the Pond House Farm in Manton.
Although it might be more convenient to stop by the grocery store, the Cadillac family has been making their weekly excursions to the Manton farm to pick fresh produce for almost four years now. What makes taking a trip to the farm more favorable to the Deitricks is the fact that the produce is organically certified.

Studies have found that more than 50 percent of children arriving at school had not had breakfast.
Denver Public Schools is trying to change that. The district is offering free breakfast to all students regardless of financial need.
Experts said kids who eat breakfast have higher test scores, make fewer errors and are more cooperative in the classroom.
Currently 11,000 DPS students eat breakfast at school everyday but school officials hope that number doubles with the new program.

BIG-BOX SWINDLE
The True Cost of Mega-Retailers and the Fight for America's Independent Businesses
(Beacon Press)
Big-Box Swindle illustrates how mega-retailers are fueling many of our most pressing problems, from the shrinking middle class to rising pollution and diminished civic engagement. The book is far more than a critique, however. The second half offers an inspiring account of how a growing number of communities and independent businesses are effectively countering the chains and rebuilding their local economies.

Food stamps, local foods and simple credit-card swipe technology come together this weekend at one of Missoula's downtown farmers markets.
The Clark Fork River Market, near the Clark Fork River under the Higgins Avenue Bridge, is setting up a swipe machine to accept food stamps, the first Montana market to do so since food stamps became “EBT” cards. EBT stands for electronic benefit transfer, the credit-card style way that food stamp money is now distributed.
Niraja Golightly is thrilled.
