Just got spammed by admin of 'The delica club' in Australia


Please act. Our choice to food is at stake. If you care please act, I have made it as simple as possible.

(I left the link out that was sent to me)
URGENT! ACT NOW! DO BEFORE FRIDAY! Please copy and paste the following senator emails into the to: field of your email and paste the message below into the body:

SUBJECT: Amendment to the Patent Act - please support the Patent Amendment (Human Genes and Biological Materials) Bill 2010

Support the Amendment on the Human Genes and Biological Materials Bill 2010. Safeguard food, seeds and ‘biological material’ from becoming the patented property of commercial entities.THE BILL IS TRYING TO STOP THE PATENTING OF NATURALLY OCCURRING BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS OR THOSE THAT ARE SUBSTANTIALLY IDENTICAL. NO ONE INVENTED THESE THINGS. THEY BELONG TO EVERYONE. THEY ARE NATURAL PHENOMENA.


:-(


Thank you

Agree. Not the best practice. It happens time to time from the Delica Club in Australia.

On the bright side at least it was over an important topic like food security and not the usual 'forward this to 100 people and Microsoft will give you $1000' type spams.

I posted a response to this email on the Australian site.
I was concerned that we had been hacked or it was malicious.
Currently there is a debate raging regarding this.
This is the post I started.

I have suggested that their should have been a post rather than an email regarding this type of email,

No doubt Delica Club Australia will sort her affairs in the most appropriate fashion. Fmande, as always ~ it's good to read your level headed responses. You are always welcome here... smiles.
