Web Email Submission Form
Senator John Wankin (D - Cuba) for US Senate


Senator John Wankin (D- Cuba)

Who's Senator John Wankin? Whoever he is, if he provided the world with an open source email submission form packed with lots of the neat features then i'd vote for him.

Seriously when we searched for "email web form" we got. Don't believe us try it yourself!!:

United States Senator Dianne Feinstein - E-Mail Form		www.senate.gov/~feinstein/email.html
Office of US Senator George Allen		allen.senate.gov/email.html
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton: Constituent Email Form		clinton.senate.gov/email_form.html
US Senator Rick Santorum-Pennsylvania		santorum.senate.gov/emailrjs.html

What does email web forms have to do with politics? According to the powers that be, everything. Our competitors obviously understand the market much better than we and have some of the biggest names in the world behind them. Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Senator Tom Daschle our competitors seemed to have cornered the market before we were weaned off our mother's milk. So we got on the phones pulled out our shortlist of famous politicians that we have confidence will lead the United States back to greatness:

Senator John McCain - (R - AZ)		Campaign Finance Reform. We heard him talking at a college. He's brilliant.
Wierd Al Yankovic (Star Wars Fanatic - CA)		Best known for parody of popular music.
Senator Joseph Lieberman (D - CT)
Senator Elizabeth Dole - (R - NC)
Senator Bob Graham - (D - FL)

We discovered getting a senator on the phone isn't a simple task. If we had a talk show like Howard Stern or Rush Limbaugh then we might have stood a fighting chance. The next feat was selling our idea past the PBx guard. That secretary that makes all business impossible, nasal voice and all. We tried to sneak past her by teasing her by suggesting we were interested in sending money but the trained sleuth say right past our ploy. She suggested we draft a check and our response we a dumb "huh??". I think we've been in Japan too long when you don't know how to send a check payment. Hey wake up Japan doesn't use checks. Japan only believes in cash, who ever heard of an above board Senator that doesn't take cash??

We obviously have a lot to learn when it comes to attracting big name support. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

So until we've gotten our political sea legs, we're throwing our 80kg frame behind the candidacy of John Winkin (D - Cuba) for the US Senate. John Winkin is a firm believer in open source software, freedom of expression, opposition to the DMCA, supports legislation to limit lawsuits targeting individual music listeners by RIAA, and supports raising food standards, legislation which is opposed by the factory food industry, to help raise the quality of life of all Americans.

Make sure files that are placed in their respective directories. We recommend using SmartFTP to upload the files.
Make a folder upload/. Change the upload/ folder permission to 766. In SmartFTP right click the upload folder and choose CHMOD. Then type in 766. This allows reading and writting to this folder but not execution of any scripts. Copies of uploaded files will be placed in this folder by the script.
