Vernon Ehlers E-mail Contact Down

So today, I went to Rep. Vernon Ehlers e-mail contact form on his House.gov Web site in order to send him an e-mail about the urgency of his taking real steps to aid middle-class families in the economic crisis and not just big Wall Street banks.

But after typing in my contact info and clicking send message, the new page read:
This page must be viewed over a secure channel.
The page you are trying to access is secured with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Please try the following: https://forms.house.gov/htbin/wrep_const.pl.
403.4 Forbidden: SSL required to view this resource.
So let's hope Rep. Ehlers can get his government-funded Web site fixed, so that he can have the ear of Grand Rapids. Try it and let me know what happens. Is he deliberately trying to shut out voices?

I doubt that he is doing intentionally, but Ehlers does tend to be fairly hard to talk reach. Sure, you can go to his office to talk to a staff member, but Ehlers himself holds only "annual" town hall meetings with constituents--limited to an hour.
