 political mail the snail kind doesn t bother me i like it a lot of the time because as crap as it is at least it s not the kind of info you get on tv particularly for small time local politics it s the best way to get information but what matters is that mail is speech and political email has to be as well protected as any other political speech spam is the tool for dissident news since the face that it s unsolicited means that recipients can t be blamed for being on a mailing list URL
