I've noticed that, too. I wanted to write to Al Franken,
to encourage him. I felt like we lost perhaps the most
intelligent and fairminded senator to MeToo fever and
Kirsten Gillibrand's presidential ambitions. It turned out
Franken also started a PAC to help politicians he thinks
are good. Yet in all that, no email address. Just a form.
So I gave up.

I find that insulting. It's not necessary to stop spam.
People can use an image of the email address or a
javascript formula to stop bots. And bots *do* fill out
forms.
