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." ...

Someone needs to go to jail.
Yep.
Harry Reid.
Most of congress.
Wow, just pure evil. This will backfire on his campaign big time. Harry might as well start packing his bags now.
“Someone needs to go to jail.”
My husband and I were commenting this morning on how there must be SOMETHING illegal about this. Is there?
A deception perpetrated with the intent to obtain money or private information
Exactly how is this not fraud??
Indeed, someone should go to jail for this, but of course their dems so it's to be expected that the only way they will win in November is to lie, cheat and steal the election ....
A couple of million or so should make this issue go away...
Ping.
Harry needs to be someone’s ‘bitch boy’
This is just the start of a nasty and dirty RAT Campaign.
It’s bad enough when you defraud someone in a face-to-face encounter, but doing it online brings even stiffer penalties due to privacy laws. Woe to anyone below Reid in the chain; who will be left without a chair?
If they sent one piece of mail, it’s mail fraud. Not a good time to be part of the Reid campaign.
Isn’t this astounding? You’d think that the Reid people would have at LEAST tried to claim that the site was the work of some unknown hack, or perhaps an Angle operative. Naturally the MSM will ignore the story completely, unless they blame it on Angle!!! I do hope the Angle campaign files charges.
Well, Reid did say that he would do anything to remian in office.
remian = remain
Sounds like a phishing scheme for identity theft purposes. I’m sure the local DA will get right on the case.
harry reid needs to resign over this incident. he is resorting to Obozo’s tricks. Enough of the fraud. Take action to have this POS resign and go to jail.
