Political Email Etiquette..

[xultar]

OK my pops just asked me to send an email to a group of people. I don't know who they are. Way back-n-the-day the Draft Wes Clark campaign asked us to put a note in our email siggy saying to support General Clark. When he became a Candidate I changed it to Democrats Unite, General Wesley K. Clark for President with his site addy.

After he dropped out I changed it to I'm a Wes Clark Democrat with his site addy.

Now my dad calls me all excited. Did you send that email out with that on the bottom to all the people. I was like, yeah, It is my siggy. It goes out on all my emails. Then he acted all pissed and said that he didn't know who his audience is or was.

Funny thing is I never even thought about what my siggy says after I saved it. It never occured to me that it would cause any problems.

Should I have removed my email siggy to send his email? (First of all I'm pretty sick of sending his emails.) Second, should I have to hide my political stance to send his emails? Third, my pops is old school you don't discuss religion and politics in mixed company. But, I'm tired of being in the closet. I'm tired of having to hide.

Should you remove political email siggys when sending to email to mixed groups?
