I have accepted that I will get Spam in my inbox.  A few will pass thru my spam blocked, and then again thru the email clients spam/junk filter.  I can easily ignore those, or press the lovely delete key.

However, I got this one a few days ago, not only was it personal (with my name)it had  no misspelling and although I found the message  abhorent, the technical aspects of this spam letter was well done.  Its a Pro-Marriage Amendment

Meet Matt Daniels, J.D., Ph.D., co-author of the Marriage Protection Amendment and founder of the Alliance for Marriage (AFM). Mr. Daniels is the man on the front lines, protecting the definition of marriage in the United States of America today.

Then the email continues about what a tough life Daniels has lead and how he beat adversity to become an attorney, with a doctorate in Political Science. Daniels was abandoned by his father and raised in poverty by a struggling mother. The lingering effects of growing up fatherless shaped what would ultimately become the mission of the Alliance for Marriage: “More children raised in a home with a mother and a father.”

What is the Marriage Act you ask?
The text of the Marriage Protection Amendment reads:

Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.

[Senate Joint Resolution 1]
Okay so I am completely against this, that goes without saying. I try understand other peoples opinions, even if I disagree with it completely.   What I found curious is why I got this email, why now?  I recently signed up the theknot.com, a wedding/bridal/engagement web site and 3 days later I get this email.  Do you think this is just a conincidence?
