I have posted a number of emails from politicians recently.  Those emails happened to contain requests for contributions.

Do not interpret my posting of such an item as a suggestion that you contribute.  My posting the item doesn’t even mean that I contributed.  To satisfy myself that I am making fair use of their material, I leave the link to the request for donation in the posting.

All the posting means is that I found something worth contemplating in the email.  I leave it to you to take away what you will from the reading of the post.

As with any other post that I make, there will be something in the item that I find worthwhile to read.  If I don’t forget, I will make some comment about what part interested me.  If I make no comment about other parts of the item, there is no guarantee that I agree or disagree with those other parts.

For things that other authors post on this blog, I set no general rules.  They may adopt my policy as stated above or they may not.
