No.
The email was just as I wrote it but here with maybe 2-3 words different but not substantially so. I wanted the next attempt (the one here) to be slightly different in hopes that it would be accepted and not considered a "security risk".
Someone wrote that my failed attempts, because of the 1200-character limit, may have been like trying to log on to a site and you get thrown out after so many attempts. This does make some sense but the "security risk" site that I was directed to didn't say anything like that.
I got a response from Senator Paul but it was just an automated acknowledgment of my submission. I hope to get a real response. I'm not a lawyer and neither is he, but we'll see.
