[SC-Help] Re: Political unsolicited email?

[spamcop]

If it's unsolicited, bulk, and email, that's spam.  I never check 
to see who sent them and never read them - so natch they get 
reported.  If a gvt critter is stupid enough to spam, he's not 
going to get my vote anyway, and he has no business trespassing 
on MY paid-for account, regardless of who it is.  I've gotten 
plenty of political spams, but so far none of them legit; all 
forged.  THAT is spam!
   Now, were I to see a name I recognized, I might check it to 
see if it's sent via spam tactics, and if not, all I'd do is chew 
out the critter and let him know what would happen next time he 
sends me one.  And then I'd follow up.  It is not MY 
responsibility to be sure that trespassers are gvt crits; not by 
a long shot!

Two cents max.
