The campaign website you have up…it looks great!

Just wondering, though. Why would you have a website, partly to show how accessible you are, but make it so difficult for people to contact you through it?

There’s an online contact form, you say, where people can sign up to donate, endorse or volunteer.

Yep, there is. But, where is the phone number and email address? I’m not seeing it.

So, let me get this straight. If a reporter on deadline wants to make contact, you want them to fill out a form? The potential donor that has some questions and wants to talk to you directly first, same thing? Fill out the form? How about the voter that simply wants to call and talk to you? Did you include the online form indicating, "Make a request to talk to the candidate"?

I bet someone told you that you’d have so many people contacting the campaign, that it would be too burdensome to field all the phone calls and emails without a web form.

Maybe it’s really too burdensome to run for office.
