Sure. Ask the government to protect us from every annoyance in the world. We'll gladly give up our freedoms and rights for a little "protection".
For heaven's sake, delete the ad or come up with technology to filter spam, or better SMTP to enable us to detect the source of the spam, but PLEASE don't ask government to make another law.
You're right, the Constitution never says we have the right to privacy. That's because the Constitution does not specify what rights we citizens have. The Constitution only exists to LIMIT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. It specifies what obligations and duties are delegated to the Feds by the people, and says that any right or responsibility not specifically delegated to the Feds is retained by the states or the people. Our problem is that the Feds have forgotten this and, worse, that most citizens don't care.
