This strikes me as rather funny.

[mc_name name=’Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC)’ chamber=’senate’ mcid=’B001135′ ] wants you to sign a petition to “support a safer and more prosperous America!” At least that is what the graphic says.

But look at the URL: https://action.burrforsenate.com/advertising-june-email-acquisition-national-security/

“Advertising June Email Acquisition”

In other words, [mc_name name=’Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC)’ chamber=’senate’ mcid=’B001135′ ] isn’t really going to do anything with your email address except start sending you more emails and know that’s an issue you care about.

There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just kind of funny to see the intent so blatantly documented in the URL. I guess he’s all about transparency.
