According to
<http://www.computerworld.com/storyba/0,4125,NAV47_STO63256,00.html>, the
"Citizens Against Government Waste" generates fake grass-roots
letter-writing campaigns on political issues. Unfortunately, they aren't
too careful with their list of signatories. Their latest letter-writing
campaign includes dead people and fake addresses from cities that don't
exist. Since the letters all look identical, most politicians aren't fooled
when they get these "grass-roots" letters.
