Bashing government has become the national pastime but if you really think 
about it they do a pretty good job more often than most people are willing 
to admit.  Look around the rest of the world for countless examples.  Our 
system is *far* from perfect but it is pretty damned good.

That said if everyone in this list stopped sending spam to the government 
there are many thousands of people and businesses asking them to do 
something about the problem.  Sending real examples of spam should help 
them get a handle on the reality of the issue.  Imagine if they decided to 
do something about spam with only a small sample.
