lately that were "out of place" I think they have it fixed where when you send something from another site to the WH this is the response you get.

18. Message sent to info@ |

Sent to info@pacforachange.com
==============================================
A funny thing happened immediately after signing your recent petition. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE WHITEHOUSE.
I polled Democratic Underground (Remember us? We sent you a few roses in February). Many DU'ers also received the email from the White House.
I will not sign another Boxer petition, and I will advise DU to also refrain, until I receive an explaination of the connection of Boxer petitions and emails from the White House.

You signed a letter (petition) to the WH and then get outraged when the recipient (auto)replied? And then urge others to no loeger sign such petitions because the names of the signatories are actually sent qalog with the petition? Did you expect that your endorsement would/should remain secret?
Listen, think carefully -- You sent an email the the WH and got a meaningless autoreply. Why on earth did you expect anytyhing less, or more? And why on earth do you trash Boxer for actually doing what she said she would do?

She was advocating for signatures because she intends to walk the petition to the WH!! I didn't remember reading anything about a direct line in!

When someone is putting a petition together to send to the WHITEHOUSE.. the WHITEHOUSE gets it... and then responds.
why on earth is anyone surprised by this?
