John Waltz: Spamming Spamtraps to Solicit Campaign Contributions
John Waltz, Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress in Michigan’s Sixth Congressional district, is sending bulk email to email addresses that were closed before 2008. Either Mr. Waltz previously ran for office before 2008 and gathered a list of supporters at that time that he has not contacted since then, or his campaign has purchased or otherwise obtained a list of email addresses that did not request bulk email from him. The ESP is Salsalabs, the ESP side of liberal U.S. political activist group Wired for Change.
