It has recently come into the public eye that an online game made popular by Facebook has been sending hundreds of pre-made letters to congress protesting the presidents proposed public healthcare bill. Sources say that insurance companies have been sponsoring the game and through offering in game money in exchange for taking "Sureveys" the program would immediately send one of a handful of fabricated letters expressing concern at the healthcare bill to members of congress.
The games that have been found to have sent out the most of these letters were Farmville and Mafia Wars and considering the millions of avid players one can only imagine the number of letters sent to congress. No word has come from congress acknowledging the scam or condemning the companies for taking advantage of the nations youth.
