Hi Clint,
Since I am responsible for this, let me answer that question. All the candidates for AMSAT Board of Directors were given a mailing list containing the name, address and callsign of all AMSAT-NA members to be used to promote their candidacy to the membership. AMSAT does not have an official email list of members. I created the email list by cross referencing the callsigns from the membership with publicly available sources (QRZ.com). I offered to send emails on behalf of my two colleagues as well. Each email has an unsubscribe link that I immediately execute on reception. This mailing was not done by a third party. The list has an expiration date mandated by the secretary. You have several options if you do not to wish to receive email from me. You can delete it on sight, you can create a rule to automatically delete all email from me or you can unsubscribe and you will no longer receive email from me.
If you have any other questions or concerns please email me directly and I will be happy to assist.
Regards, Howie AB2S

Gawd, did someone sue AMSAT-NA to obtain a membership email mailing list or something?
All sorts of campaign statements from folks who don’t deserve votes in my IN BOX this evening …
No need to reply.
