Barak Ospama Owes Me Money!

Obama recently went off on McCain for his lack of technical prowess. Meanwhile, Obama has “his people” set up a blog, a twitter, a MySpace, and bunch of other Web 2.0 garbage that I am 100% certain he has no idea how to use, himself. And it really ticks me off, because it is then used to harass and annoy people who don’t want it.
And this right here is where’s it’s an issue. Obama keeps going off that McCain is “out of a touch” with technology and living in a world of twenty-there years ago, and yet Obama is out of touch with the very laws he’s being paid to help to shape and mould — and even then, doesn’t show up for work most of the time.
Federal Statutes have declared that Campaign E-mails soliciting for donations fall under the category of “Commercial E-Mail.” I have received no less than three of these e-mails per day for the last month — all from Barak Obama. Despite my having opted out. Multiple times. To no avail.
Here’s the basis of the Federal CAN-SPAM Law:
- It bans false or misleading header information.
- It prohibits deceptive subject lines.
- It requires that your email give recipients an opt-out method.
- It requires that commercial email be identified as an advertisement and include the sender’s valid physical postal address.
And it appears that there’s only one of those items the Obama campaign hasn’t broken!
Oh, and it carries with it fines of up to $11,000 per violation, raking in a conservative estimate of nearly ten million dollars that Barak Obama owes in fines, plus State Recompense and the FTC-Imposed Civil Fees, which means that Barack Obama owes me $45,900.
So McCain is out of touch with Technology … Obama is out of touch with Law, and the spirit of it.
Which one’s the bigger sin?
No way in Hell will I vote for someone who’s as notorious as Sanford “Spamford” Wallace.
So seriously, Mr. Ospama, stop adding me to MySpace! Don’t follow me on Twitter! And first and foremost, quit sending me these damn e-mails! And get out that check book — I could really use it right now, so I’ll settle for an even $45,000.

I submitted this to yahoo buzz in the politics page. I just lately, added the yahoo buzz plugin to my fraccers.com blog, and thought I’d tell you in case you or your readers weren’t using it yet and want to go and buzz this up higher.
Good one Mark!

John McSpam did the same to me, maybe I should send a bill to the GOP.

That much? The son of a bitch spammed me in e-mail, twitter, MySpace, Facebook and postal mail.
Since I wrote it, his offenses are now well on their way to half a million…
I’ve gotten exactly three e-mails from the McCain camp since June.
Obama, on the other hand, has signed me up for Rainbow Coalition, NAACP, DNC, Ted Kennedy’s shit and miscellaneous OTHER lists…
So now I’m more than a little pissed.
And yep, I’m all for sending ’em both a bill.

I’ve gotten nothing from Obama on any front. McCain however has sent numerous emails, snail mails, and about a dozen phone calls to my cell phone.
I have a feeling that someone is signing you up for the mailing lists just to piss you off. Seems to be working too.

Your feeling would be incorrect, and I’m one of a multitude of individuals getting this shit — on both sides of the fence. The “list sharing” phenomenon has already been busted elsewhere.
