The Can Spam Act Doesn’t Work

What good is it?
I am a man of many pet peeves. Having to sort through emails I don’t want or didn’t ask for is one of them. There is one type of email that annoys me more than any other — solicitations for money from politicians.
The pols gave themselves an out in the Can Spam Act. Rules for thee but not for me sort of thing.
I used to donate to politicians I can actually vote for. It was usually $25 before the primary and another $25 before the general election. I did it online and used my real email. That was my mistake.
