There already is a law prohibiting "junk fax", all that is really needed here is to amend that law to include junk e-mail. The DMA would like to outlaw specificly FRAUD so as to pave the way for "legit" email advertisers to use "junk e-mail" to advertise all they want with the blessing of the legislature. Please do read the entire bill and note that it does pave the way for "legit" e-mail marketers, and that is NOT acceptable, WE THE PEOPLE need to impress upon the representitives that spam is unacceptable.
