Getting political, for the good of Philadelphia

Here’s the deal: I don’t really know what to think of this whole tax reform thing. Okay, I don’t have too many opinions on politics other than “which politician is funniest,” so that’s not all that weird.

But, anyway, to the story: Philadelphia Forward is an organization that sends approximately 745 emails a day with some sort of new reason for getting rid of the Business Privilege Tax. (They’ve gotten me with cute puppies before.) And somebody leaked Forward director Brett Mandel the address the email account on John Street’s Blackberry.

And, naturally, Forward’s latest tactic is allowing people to send emails to John Street’s Blackberry.

While I don’t know where I stand on tax reform, I do know where I stand on being able to annoy politicians — and that’s strongly in the ‘PRO’ category. (The site lets you send whatever letter you want, so you could also ask John Street what’s up with that hair.)

Does anyone have John Perzel’s Blackberry email? Or, for that matter, Rick Santorum?
