I had to try 3-4 versions because I was limited to 1200-characters, but the form didn't tell me how many characters I had already used. Upon an attempted submission, it would tell me once again that I'm limited to 1200-characters and how many I had actually used. So, I had to cut words/sentences here and there to get down to the 1200-character limit while keeping the heart of the message.

When I got it down below 1200-characters, it stopped rejecting it for too many characters. However, it closed the page where I was writing and auto directed me to a page that said my request was not accepted BECAUSE IT CONTAINED A SECURITY RISK!

A link to the government page where I was directed is below: https://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/general/one_item_and_teasers/waf.htm

Anyway, I opened a new page, filled in the information required again (name, rank, serial number), made tiny changes to the text and resubmitted it. This time it was accepted.

The above email is within their 1200-character limit and was eventually accepted. But the rejected "security threat" version was virtually identical. Apparently, Big Tech detected a "security risk" to itself.

Although this wasn't done through Free Republic, I suspect that most FReepers, not counting undercover FBI agents, are considered "Security Risks".

Your comments about the email and/or the "security risk" are welcome.

Just like “too many attempts” at a password, you were made to start over from scratch.
Meh...

If you can type something into a Word document it will keep track of characters used for you.
Then just cut and paste. If you have Word, that is.

Very good suggestion, btw.

Cheers!

Try writing:

Dear Senator Paul,

I attempted to send you an email regarding big tech censorship, along with suggestions on how to deal with their politically motivated censorship with conservatives, and others who may disagree with their accepted narratives. The suggestions I presented threatened no one. There was no mention of of any violent actions as well. However, your system keeps rejecting my emails due to some supposed security risk. Can you explain why that is the case?

I believe the above is well under the 1,200 character limit as well, but I'll let you copy & paste so they can count the characters. Too early to count right now. 🙂

Were you using bullet points?

Rejected as a security risk by a mass murder organization?
