Jeb Bush Publishes Thousands of Citizens' Email Addresses

Posted by timothy on from the public-records-now dept.

blottsie writes Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush hasn't even yet formally declared his desire to run for president in 2016, but he's already started what appears to be a major privacy blunder. His new project, the Jeb Emails, a massive, open database of correspondence to and from his jeb@jeb.org email address, publishes the full names, messages, and email addresses of his constituents who emailed him during his eight years in office.

    Not a good start.

      The ability to win elections is not an indication of whether a candidate is a good fit for her/his constituents. See also: Michelle Bachmann.

      And in the EU we will celebrate!

      It's already high time that you get your GOP back into office, the Dollar is way to high, you are creating way too much jobs and Mr O'Bahma does nto provide us with the level of comedy the world expects of an US president.

      Dubya set the stakes very high, IMHO the only thing that could match his performance would be one of these teabaggers. I think that an ideal inauguration would be the guy openly carrying an AK-47 and a baseball hat screaming "Yeeehaaa" while emptying a magazine (into the air or into an appropriately situated choir of first-graders).

      God Save the USA!!! (I'm running for popcorn)

    The small blessing is that most of the senior citizens in Florida probably have already given this information to scammers in Asia.
