Constituent e-mails to House clog system

Overwhelming interest in the debate over healthcare legislation has clogged the House system that allows constituents to send e-mails to their members directly through the House website and lawmaker Web pages. And it's not only individuals filling out the "write-your-representative" form that are slowing the system. It's advocacy groups as well. House e-mail services and other Web services are unaffected by the problems.
