Do I believe that private hoaxer information should be put out on the open internet to dissuade people from looking into the tragedy?
I would say .. yes.
You ask,
‘But Wade, since you have such an expert grasp of the Law, surely you are aware of the First Amendment To the Constitution’?
Believe me, I understand your concerns, as does Secretary of State Kerry. Turning over someone's private information to outside parties without consent is unacceptable. That's why we have never sold, rented, loaned, or otherwise given access to the information in our database to anyone else, and never will.
On infrequent occasions we have permitted someone to provide us with the text content for a special mailing and we have sent it out to our email list over their signature -- as we did with this last email from President Obama, and with one that went out several months ago from Al Gore promoting his climate change initiatives -- but when we do that, we send it out ourselves, through our own email server system, following our standard privacy policies.
That's why the reply-to address on the email you received was still johnkerry@state.gov and why it had the John Kerry for President graphic and contact information above and below the body of the email.
I hope this helps to reassure you that your trust was not violated and that the private information you provided to us via state.gov/secretary remains private. We appreciate your continued support for Secretary of State Kerry in his efforts to help elect as many Democrats to the House and Senate, just as we did in 2010 and 2012.
As Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs, President Secretary Kerry worked to learn the truth about American soldiers missing in Vietnam and to normalize relations with that country.
In 2010, as Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, President Secretary Kerry was instrumental in the ratification of the New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) Treaty, a vital nuclear arms reduction agreement with Russia that helps steer both countries away from dangerous nuclear confrontations.
John F. Kerry - A great American Hero. God Bless You, President Kerry

However, heed this hoaxer trolls:
We're not now, nor will we be, in the business of helping President Obama ‘spam’ anyone. Our email list is our own, and this was a one-off effort to assist someone that John F. Kerry believes deserves his endorsement in the primary race.
As he has noted repeatedly, he will also support Secretary Clinton–who is maintaining a pretty nice body for a sixty-seven year old woman, or former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, who is fairly attractive for an older man (I'm married.. so not all that gay), or anyone else who wins the Democratic nomination for President in 2016.
And I encourage you (and anyone else who reads this) to contact me directly if you would like to re-subscribe to Secretary of State Kerry's email list with an exclusion against receiving messages supporting President Obama or any other Presidential candidate prior to the party's selection of its final nominee for 2016:
Actually, scratch like... most of that. This is Barack's second term and so he can't run again, unless we find a way to change the rules.
Christ. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Those dog days of September.
The Indian summer of ‘03, sweating our ***** off inside the John F. Kerry Presidential Election Community Campaign Headquarters for Nevada County, California:
At the time, our community campaign field office HQ was located in the furnished, outdoor shed behind my neighbor Neal's folk's place since his parents had temporarily moved out to El Dorado Hills due to all the ruckus; and we just got Joe to run a 26 foot extension cord out the window of the greenhouse.
That one guy, what was his name.. Mr. Satchmo. He was always smiling this big kind of goofy grin—still have no clue what his name actually was—I think he was really smart, but he was just the local negrophobic kid whose parent's owned that Korean grocery.. hm.. well either way, he got an allowance even though he was like 30—and so he paid for the food.
He used to tell me about how he was deathly afraid of salty liquids, which I found odd, but he also had these dreams where he actually got to meet and touch President Kerry, which to me was strange, because so did I.

Anyhow, those are the only two guys whose names I can remember. We called ourselves the A-Team. That seems kind of quaint now, almost.
Cracking open a Bud Light, fan on full blast, out-of-breath from running around kicking over, pissing on, or just outright stealing Bush/Cheney 2004 yard signs. We never got caught. Plus it was all for Kerry.
Boom! Then the weather cooled, and the tension became to high for most of the fellas.
Kerry came into October as a five-point underdog with almost no chance of winning three out of three rigged confrontations with a treacherous little freak like George Bush. But the debates are over now, and have been for many a year; and the victor was clearly John Kerry every time. He steamrollered Bush and left him for roadkill.
November, I re...
.. I can't go into right now...
Idiots.
