Looks like I've spent too much time on the Swiftees board from work... They locked out the discussion page (curses!)

Any computer guys out there know a creative way for me to still access? Twisted Evil

Thanks in advance,
SOTG

Not from behind the firewall ( thats where they probably are blocking it ) though they could be blocking from other meens.

You should check and see if they are blocking all sites or just this one. That'll at least let you know if their biased.

of course if your using a laptop you could plug into a phone line and dial out Laughing

Laughing Laughing I am self employed so their isn't a I.T. guy to block me out of the SBVT site. Perhaps I need one. My business is taking a hit from my over consumption with the SBVT movement that I joined 6/3/04. However some things in life are bigger then profits and this is one of them.

Nah, it's strange... I can get into the boards for awhile (I'm a night-shifter, so I know I'm not being monitored live), but all of a sudden, I'll enter into one of the topics and get the dreaded "blocked" page.

SOTG, find out which other campaign-related sites, if any, have been blocked.

JohnKerry.com
**
etc. etc.

I'd love to see a major news story about how some employer is actively censoring certain web sites that might not agree with the political slant of the owners.

Well then there not blocking at the firewall Laughing they must be using some software program to filter URL's and it's hit and miss.
It may not even be using URL filtering it could just be using text search criteria and thats why it only works once and awhile.

LOL... No, that's not the case here... It's there bandwidth I'm hijacking. I think I triggered an auto-something with all my SBVT activity. The support at my company is DEFINITELY not Kerry.

No, it's not the "busy signal"... I've seen those... It says something like "WebSense - blocked - advocacy group" or something like that.

I got some word that the site was too busy and I couldn't get into it. I just wait a while and then I get into it.

I did go into my address book this AM and put the Kerry supporters into the trash bin. It was hard to do since my pshc opps campain has been very effective. However they have been reporting me as a spammer to my ISP provider. Laughing Since all I was doing is responding back to emailer's I had recieved mail from first.
