Senator Fielding, you have sent UNSOLICITED political email

I just received an email from Senator Steve Fielding of the “Family First Party” in the Australian Senate.He’s a senator for the state of Victoria, and I’m a resident of NSW.Why and how did he get my email address?I don’t know, but I’m ANGRY that he sent me a very-much unsolicited email about his policies. Political SPAM is just as bad as commercial spam, and I have marked him in my email client address book as a SPAMMER – and told him so.I find his politics objectionable (almost as much as Joe Hockey’s – and he’s my local federal MP). I do not want to receive emails from politicians.My online political activities are purely based on what I want to be involved in. If Senator Fielding’s email is the shape of things to come, then I think most of our beloved pollies are going to be marked out as spammers … but only in email programs since I’m pretty sure that if there is in fact any legislative relief from spam then the pollies gave themselves an exemption.So go on, live down to my expectations. I’ll make up my own mind about you. If you’re on my list of political spammers then you certainly won’t be getting my vote and I’ll do my darndest to ensure that none of my friends or family vote for you either.`Technorati`_ tags: topic:{Technorati}[Politics], topic:{Technorati}[Politics in Australia], topic:{Technorati}[Unsolicited email]
