Sending Mass Email And Spam Laws?
If I want to send a personal email to a citywide mailing list of about 2000, would this be considered spam? I am not marketing or selling anything, the most I have is a link to a local political blog in the message.
Any thoughts?

Live at the FillmoreAs a 21-year old pitcher for the Oakland A's, Vida Blue burst on to the scene in 1971, winning the American League's MVP and Cy Young awards. Flash forward to 2001, as Phish keyboardist Page McConnell forms VIDA BLUE, a dynamic trio with bassist Oteil Burbridge and drummer Russell Batiste. At the same time, Page launches Team Vida Blue, specializing in stock-car racing and demolition derby. In 2003, Page is introduced to The Spam Allstars, Miami's hottest Afro-Cuban DJ sextet, and they joined forces in the studio and on the road. This DVD - a sold out show at San Francisco's legendary Fillmore - captures all of these worlds at once: the combined ten-piece ensemble onstage plus an appearance from pitcher Vida Blue as he shows up to meet the band for the first time. Tying it all together is Team Vida Blue footage - the thrills and spills of smash-up derby action and the 2004 Enduro Race from Vermont's Thunder Road racetrack.

Of course it’s spam.
I doubt if you know 2,000 people. I doubt if they have signed up to receive your emails.
Spam does not have involve selling or promoting anything.
But you are promoting your site, and that’s also marketing.
And how can it be personal, if the purpose if for them to visit your political blog? That’s political.
It’s your risk, it won’t win you any admirers.
Do the people know you’ll be sending it to them? Have they opted in to your message(s)? If so, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Spam is generally considered as unsolicited mail – if your clients are expecting your mail then it’ll be fine.
Think it would depend on if it’s unsolicited or not. You don’t have to be selling something for it to be considered spam.
If it’s for a local group of ppl with a common interest and your email addresses that interest then personally I wouldn’t consider it spam.
Your ISP/e-mail provider may have some questions for you if you do 2000 emails though.
I think it comes down to if people are allowing you to send them the e-mail. Did these people agree to get such an e-mail (either through you or this “city mailing list.” Is there really ways to access 2000 names from the city? no wonder why i get so much spam!
There are plenty of federal, state and some local laws that restrict unsolicited or bulk mailings. Since many of the messages we endure come from overseas, we have little recourse when trying to stop or prosecute these people. Mail sent from within the US that does not comply with Federal guidelines could get the attention of the FBI or the state police. Fines in Washington state are $500 per piece of mail that does not comply with the format and content as specified by law.
