FaxYourMP and the dangers of “Boilerplate Activism”
Posted: January 28th, 2003 Comments OffSlashdot linked the New York Times’s piece on “boilerplate activism” – basically, sending form letters to newspaper editors and politicians.

It sounds like our American equivalent, however, is much more open to mass-mailing, especially if you stump up the cash.
