Tried the website again this morning (7/4) and got:
"We're sorry. The site is unavailable at the moment. Please
try again later."
Which is not surprising given the underlying technology:
# HEAD www.donotcall.gov
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Another busy government site using the least secure web server
software. You can imagine the backend. Their javascript is also
broken. It could be worse I suppose, if managed by the USPS...
The site and exceptions list are great examples of the level of
special interest influence in DC. Unfortunately, their influence
is also a roadblock to national security:

Marcus Ranum <http://www.tisc2002.com/newsletters/414.html>
Anyone here familiar with the subcontractor list for DNC's Internet
servers?
