Reid Campaign blamed for trying to capture
data belonging to Angle Supporters
RENO, NV – U.S. Senator Harry Reid’s campaign was forced to take
down a website that falsely represented itself as Sharron Angle’s campaign
website and attempted to deceive Angle supporters into giving their personal
information to the Reid campaign. Reid’s campaign received a Cease and Desist
Notice complaining of “nefarious actions,” including the abuses of proprietary
materials from the Angle campaign website and for potentially violating the
privacy of supporters who may have been submitting personal information to be
used for U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle’s campaign.
According to a letter from the
Angle campaign’s lawyer, “… these activities violate a number of
federal statutes regarding the internet and your client has clearly
misappropriated my client’s copyrighted materials. In addition it appears that
the only interactive function on the fake site is the capturing of names of
persons seeking to add their names and email addresses as supporters of Sharron
Angle.”
Angle spokesman Jerry Stacy
said that Reid’s campaign responded immediately by removing the site. “Make no
mistake, the Reid campaign was forced to take this site down because they were
breaking several laws and trying to deceive the voters,” Stacy said. “You’re
going to see a lot of dirty tricks like that from Reid’s campaign.”
Stacy also added that he is
not surprised by the continual shady tactics coming from the Reid campaign.
“This is a clear case of a desperate man doing desperate things to win. We knew
that Harry Reid was trailing in the polls and that he would do anything to win
– but for Harry Reid’s campaign to resort to actually breaking laws would be
amazing even for him. Harry Reid may feel like he is above the law when he’s
off in Washington, but back here in Nevada we expect better from our leaders.
This is just one more reason Harry Reid has got to go.”

I can’t wait to see him lose the election, the freakin’ loser
Unbelievable…well, almost. I’d like to see this site. I wonder if it is still available anywhere. I hope Angle publicizes this fraud in a BIG way. The MSM will of course simply cover it up.
If Reid’s people actually broke the law, I would think that something more than a “cease & desist” would have been served. Should there not be legal consequences? I really think that they should be treated as regular citizens. If a “regular Joe” were to do this, they would be facing fines and/or jail/prison time.
