I usually avoid public political debates, but I can't resist this one.  In the past week I have received two emails from Ameri For Congress 2004, and I have no idea how I got on her email list.  Whether or not I agree with her views is irrelevant in this case, because I have two serious concerns:

  1. The email was unsolicited.  If I somehow got on a list that she feels is authorized to use, she should specify such in her email.
  2. The email contains no opt-out instructions.

I'm all for candidates using appropriate media to get their message out, but this is clearly in the spam category and I'm pretty furious.

When Congress enacted the national Do-Not-Call list, they made sure that political spam was excluded from the list. Therefore, Goli can spam you all day long and there is not much you can do about it I guess.

Ahhh, but is it good practice for a political candidate to behave this way?
