I just got SPAMMED by DODD for President. Coool Take Action e-mail on FISA
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007
From: "Tim Tagaris, Chris Dodd for President"
To: Los Coyotes
Subject: Four down, six to go



If you haven't yet, please take a moment to call and thank Senators Kennedy, Feingold, Biden, and Cardin.

All four have indicated their opposition within the Judiciary Committee to any FISA bill that contains retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies.

But that's only 40% of where we need to be to stop the provision in the Judiciary Committee.

Take a moment to make one last phone call before the weekend and ask the remaining members of the committee where they stand, and thank those who have already taken the right position.

Otherwise, please consider this a short note of thanks from everyone on the campaign for all your support over the past week.

Whether it was blog traffic, emails sent to friends, your contributions, and offers to volunteer ... I think everyone has the sense we are on the brink of something special here.

Let's keep it going.

Tim Tagaris
Chris Dodd for President

P.S. Just because it's the weekend, doesn't mean it's time to rest. In fact, if it's Sunday ... it's Meet the Press.

This week Senator Dodd will be Tim Russert's guest. Please take a moment and let your friends know to tune in as we take our discussion about Iraq, Iran and Restoring the Constitution even wider on the national stage.

2. IMPT: I just got the same email. However, there were a couple of weird things about it.
For one, it said "If you're not Larry (somebody), click here."
I thought that was strange, since no one else uses my computer.
But I clicked, and put in the right information.
I sent the suggested email.

Here's the kicker: two minutes later, I got an email from The Whitehouse, saying that
President Bush thanks me for writing to him but, due to the volume of emails, he cannot
answer each one.

WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN???????!!! Anyone have a clue??

3. Sounds like the form CC'ed the White House.
One of the aspects of creating a form that some people overlook is that there can be default settings in some fields. So, Larry may have created this one and did no examine the code closely. No big deal that.

4. But who is this Larry guy, and why did his name show up on my computer (with a cc
going to the WH)?

Am I freaking out over nothing? ( I'm very tech-ignorant, but it seems so weird!).

5. It sounds like...
The mail isn't coming from Dodd but from a Spammer. By giving them your e-mail, you're likely to get lots more spam mail. I wouldn't put it above the White House to pull such a stunt, but it's probably someone from Moldova doing it. I got the same e-mail, but since I wouldn't trust Dodd any further than I can throw him, I didn't reply.
