Why is an ad for some Congressman popping up? Peter Roskam.

I haven't seen any of those. But since this is a free site, I can either ignore it or click on it, then go on seeing what lovely things others have made.

I have too many other things lined up to get mad about in the future, don't need any new ones.

I love this site, spend WAY too much time on it.

Political ads are supposed to be filtered out. You can send a PM addressed to Admin to describe the ad and what was in it. Details help them block the few that get through the filters.

They were filtered during the last voting session, but I don't know about now.

Let me remind you all that if you vote in the straw poll, you will also start getting a lot of junk mail. They will have your email address, and be more than happy to sell it to others...and there lies the road to spam.

That's probably not far from the truth.
