I Pledge to NOT use Spam Email to campaign

Email spam: an unfortunate fact of this semester. As a Computer Science major I can easily write software that will dredge up EVERY email address in General Studies and then use them for my campaign. But I refuse. My respect for the intelligence and time of General Studies students is too high. I also respect my fellow candidates too much to take this road. Every message you get about me will be from a person you know, a Facebook message from me or a friend etc. In other words I promise I will not use spam to campaign.

My campaign is about leading General Studies with respect, integrity, and professionalism. Spam email has no part in that. I welcome you to join me by voting for me and challenging the candidates to also not send spam emails.

If you are a candidate I welcome you to join me in my fight against disrespectful and wasteful spam email use. If you are a candidate using an email list ask yourself the honest question: did the General Studies students on that list, whom you hope to represent, give their express consent to being sent your campaign messages? If not, respect them by not spamming them. Let's be the change we want to see!
