Are you sending those emails while on the job as an elected state representative chairing the house Intelligence committee? If you were, that would be an example of a government trying to censor it's citizens by abusing their power and a few of us object to that behavior. You may too one day when it's your voice they are trying to silence.
What's acceptable here as an individual is different from what's acceptable as an elected official with power over the entity you're asking for favors from.
