Is Romney Web Site Under Attack ???

clipper has been trying, unsuccessfully,  to reach several of the www.mittromney.com/contact-ushttp://www.mittromney.com/contact-us     web sites.    There are eight different links on this page:  "Volunteer Opportunities", "Donation Support", "Suggestions", .... etc.  None of them work. They all report "The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy."     Additionally, the telephone number to call "For all other concerns or questions" leads to a full mailbox.  No contact seems possible.

In my experience as a web site manager, this can indicate a DENIAL OF SERVICE attack.  That is..... an opposition entity enlists thousands of persons to create hundreds of thousands of attempts to access these same links.  The result is that the links become "flooded" and hence unavailable to casual users.  This is not unlike the experience I have had with SEIU thugs swarming a congresswoman's Town Hall meeting to deny we Tea Partiers access to the meeting.

I hope the Romney campaign is awake on this one !!!!

Try linking yourself by clicking the highlighted URL above.  Please let clipper know your experience.
