According to the USPS the congressman doesnt exist. Im sure they wouldnt lie 
about that, because they would be caught lying very easily. If they wanted to 
keep such a claim quiet they would just say it depends on how you define 
e-mail or somthing like that. Plus even if the rumor is true, how could they 
regulate foreign ISPs giving American citizens free e-mail? You know Congress 
isnt about to pass a bill that would destroy the telecomunications industry 
in the US.

There was a rummor that started in 1975 , that Madalyn Murray O'Hair was 
trying to get the FCC to prevent religious speech on the airways. So millions 
of devout bible thumpers wrote (still are) in protest to the FCC.  However 
there is no law that would alow the FCC to prohibit Pat Robertson or Jimmy 
Swaggert from robbing the herds blind via tv and radio. The FCC did use up a 
lot of tax money trying to stop the rumor. Funny those right wingers are 
always complaining about tax waste but in reality they have caused a lot of 
it.
