WHEREAS the practice of advertising by broadcasting e-mail messages to people who have expressed no specific individual interest in a product, service, or organization ("spamming") is widely considered rude and obnoxious, and

WHEREAS spamming for the purpose of publicizing the LP could damage the reputation of the LP among users of e-mail and result in condemnation of the LP across the Internet, and

WHEREAS complaints and retaliation triggered by spamming have the potential for wasting LP resources and causing other damage to the LP's interests, and

WHEREAS a policy of avoiding spamming does not preclude responsible use of e-mail to communicate with interested members and prospects within the bounds of commonly accepted Internet etiquette, and

WHEREAS it is San Diego Libertarian Party policy to oppose government involvement in the free-flow of information across the internet.

WHEREAS the San Diego Libertarian Party advocates private and voluntary solutions to the problem of spam.

WHEREAS decisions by LP organizations and activists over the years to refrain from spamming have maintained a good reputation for the LP in this regard up to now, and

WHEREAS any spamming that appears to be done on behalf of the LP, whether or not officially sanctioned, could have the same negative consequences for the LP, and

WHEREAS the increased use of e-mail by LP activists makes clarification of policy in this area desirable,

Now Therefore

BE IT RESOLVED that it is the policy of the San Diego Libertarian Party not to advertise by spamming, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED to advise all LP candidates, officers, and other activists that spamming for the purpose of advertising the LP or which could be seen as being done on behalf of the LP is likely to harm the LP and should not be done.
