In 2001, the Los Angeles Times accused Microsoft of astroturfing when hundreds of similar letters were sent to newspapers voicing disagreement with the United States Department of Justice and its antitrust suit against Microsoft. The letters, prepared by Americans for Technology Leadership, had in some cases been mailed from deceased citizens or nonexistent addresses.

So the allegation is that Google is marketing its resources to GOP astroturf opps in DC?

 

A plausible micro-timeline for the finest democracy money can buy: 1) Google is your friend. 2) Google is your email. 3) Your email is GOP astroturf.

 

Whatever the case, the OP is duly noted, thanks for the heads up. -mC
