Apparently "bringing about real change" means spamming me to death

Rant

Here is a little free advice to those running for office this election year, considering the fact that you have no idea what normal people do or what makes them tick. People don't like spam. In fact, there are billions of dollars spent every year to stop people from sending unsolicited email to people that are not interested in buying (or buying into!) services. You have become part of the problem by sending me emails telling me about your "solutions".

If I am on the fence about a particular candidate - and I'm not - and you really want to seal the deal and drive me to making a decision, then by all means go ahead and send me more spam. I will remember that when I don't cast a ballet for you on election day.

Oh yeah... and about the "opt out" form thingie on your website that you apparently ignore. In the "internet world" that means that you are supposed to stop sending emails to the person that submits it. Seriously Senator, stop going out of your way to push me away. Your work is already done.

Dave,

I have a little political campaigning experience, and I have some more bad news for you: Political Campaigns are exempt from the do not call list. That means you can ASK to be opted out, and the campaigns would be wise to stop bugging you, but they are under no obligation to do so.

They made sure to give political calls an exemption from the Do-not-call list.
