I'm not so sure. The other day I contacted the Democratic National Committee, asking them to release a photo for [[Terry McAuliffe]]. If they don't get back to me by the end of the week, I'll consider another line of attack, but some places might have people to handle this, even online.

What may be more common is that organizations are not prepared to deal with such questions. A letter seeking permissions can just as easily trigger a debate within the target organization about who there has the right to give the permissions . Ec
