Spammed by my own Senator

By | April 23, 2006

I just sent this complaint to Senator Edward Kennedy’s office through the form on his Web site:

STOP SPAMMING ME.

I contacted you online a while back.  In response, you added me to some bulk email list, to which I never consented to be added, and started spamming me regularly.

When I contacted you on-line, I did not give you permission to start spamming me, so you had no right to add me to your bulk email list in the first place.  I did not opt into receiving this email.

Furthermore, I unsubscribed from your spam on March 16, using the Web link you provided, and yet you’re still spamming me — I received more spam from you earlier today.  Why are you still spamming me, apparently in violation of the CAN-SPAM act?

Finally, when I tried to send email to senator@kennedy.senate.gov, the email address advertised in the footer of your Web site, it bounced: “This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.  Delivery to the following recipients failed. senator@kennedy.senate.gov”.  Either you shouldn’t be advertising that email address, or you shouldn’t be bouncing email sent to it!
