What it's useful for really depends on who it is. If it's just public office holders or people who report to one, then it's useful in deciding who you are/aren't going to vote for and perhaps informing them of your intentions. But if it's private individuals it wouldn't be useful if they lack much power, wealth or influence. But many obstructionists seem to have one or more of the three because of a connection to a business or other organization (like a lobby group). In such cases it can help one decide whether or not to do business or otherwise partner with the organization in the future (and perhaps notifying them of your decision). I don't think any of these things count as harassment as long as you're basing your decision on publicly available information and any contact you make is brief and non-confrontational.
