There was some discussion on this on the spam-l list. It is a question of policy and opinion. They did send out Unsolicited Bulk email. But CANSPAM makes it 'ok' to do this for politics. The discussion seemd to point to the idea that antispam people don't agree that it is 'ok' to do this. And some people have been blocking it. IMHO I think all political unsolicited bulk email should be blocked. But I have a larger responsibility to more users of SURBL. So I didn't add it to [WS]. --Chris
