Jon Bruning, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in the state of Nebraska, is sending bulk email notices to an email address that was closed in 2004. The email address appears to have belonged to a small company that went bankrupt many years ago, and to have been used to manage that company’s ISP service. It does not appear to have been a personal email address for anybody. The ESP is IContact.

Dear <xxx>,

I’m proud to announce that I’ve received the endorsement of “America’s Toughest Sheriff,” Joe Arpaio. Sheriff Joe is known across the nation as a powerful critic of the federal government’s lax enforcement of immigration laws and I stand with him in the fight to bring real reform to the federal government’s failed immigration policy.

<removed>

Together, we’ll ensure that Nebraska is represented by a strong conservative voice in the U.S. Senate. Thank you for your support.

Warmest Wishes,

Jon Bruning

P.S. Let’s send a message to Washington that we’re tired of the failed policies of this administration. [4]Please contribute $25 today.
