Statement on Spam and VoteNader.org
elis...@votenader.org
You may have received spam email recently that appears to come from our
campaign, or be about our campaign -- perhaps the "From" and or
"Reply-to" addresses look like they are coming from VoteNader.org. Or
perhaps you have received a message that appears to come from an
individual (if the address is real, the real owner probably did not send
this email either) with suppressed recipients. Or maybe you received an
email that appeared to come from yourself promoting our site.
These messages are NOT from Nader for President 2004, and these email
tactics are NOT condoned by our campaign in any way.
UPDATE: Some of the latest forged emails have been made to appear to be
coming from naderexplore04.org. Again, we are not responsible for this
unfortunate abuse of email, and there is little in the technical sense
that we can do to prevent this as it has nothing to do with our actual
infrastructure. We are collecting information.
NOTE: The emails with malicious code (viruses, worms, etc.) often have
attachments. Our campaign will NEVER send attachments in our
announcement emails to you. Please be sure that you have anti-virus
software and have the latest updates available for your anti-virus
software.
Our hosting service has alerted us to say that Nader for President 2004
appears to be the target of what is called a "Joe Job." Such an event is
where a spammer forges email to make it appear to have come from some
other domain (such as ours -- or yourself). This is hard to prevent on
our end and part of the insecure nature of the email protocol in
general.
Members of our actual email list must request to receive email from us
(either through Ralph's signup sheets or subscribing during our
exploratory phase, or now on our campaign site). When one signs up for
email they must reply to a confirmation message before they receive our
list announcements.
Our public announcement emails come from "camp...@votenader.org,"
contain a "Paid for by Nader for President 2004" statement at the
bottom, and have "upd...@lists.votenader.org" in the "To:" header.
Unfortunately, some of these indicators can be forged as well.
Most of the Spam that we have received complaints about appear to be
forged from email addresses not associated with votenader.org (often
forged to appear to be coming from government email addresses), and have
our website code embedded in the body of the email with hidden tags that
contain random words that work to subvert anti-spam software.
If you are on our lists, you can ALWAYS unsubscribe at ANY time by
following the instructions included at the end of our announcements. You
can also use our unsubscribe page using the email address you signed up
with.
If you are receiving this SPAM, we extend our apologies.
We will pursue the spammers to the full extent of the law.

he gave him a
few secrets about me. And showed him some of those strange events, In
any case the CIA guy gave me another injection to erase my memory and
then he left. He told the good cop that by the time I recall what
happened he will travel to some other city or country etc etc.
But the game was not really over yet, when I was in hospital due to the
biological weapons Mahmud Kurchu and his other Jewish brothers had given
me I started feeling pain in my body, so once I increase the heart beat
rate on machine. But second time I don?t think it was me, all I can
recall is someone came in he/she looked back at me and then changed the
reading. During the mean while the bad guys were trying to program me to
commit suicide, yes even then.
Firstly the good cop though I was trying to commit suicide, then they
tried to test me, but I did not touch the machine the other person who
did this was never ever found, but they kept Nurse on hook, all I can
recall is as the someone came in after jumping over the back wall. This
is kind of tragic, like if Nurse was really trying to help may be she
suffering just because she was good. Anyway that day 10% of my heart was
damaged.
During the operation they discovered one of my ki
