* CHAIRMAN'S REPORT - RESULTS OF LAST MONTH'S "IS THIS IN YOUR SPAM FOLDER?" SURVEY - Last month, we asked subscribers to tell us if this newsletter was being diverted to their spam folder and/or has there been a stretch of months where you haven't even received it?
The impetus for this was that I had been hearing from subscribers who wondered where the newsletter went, so I spent a great deal of time investigating and adjusting our procedures, but it was important to gather more information by hearing from you!
Thank you to all of you who responded to our request, your answers helped us formulate a strategy. Interestingly, a good number of people said they received last month's newsletter, but had not been receiving them for six months or longer prior to that.
With the 2020 election coming up, I believe it is important to get on top of this. It's almost impossible to determine if we've been targeted because of our conservative content, but there does seem to be an increase in tech companies restricting more and more conservative communications, and the delivery problems with this newsletter do seem to have increased dramatically at about the same time.
During my research, I discovered that a surprising number of copies of this newsletter have not just been hidden in spam folders, but actually blocked by certain Internet Service Providers (ISPs). By blocked I mean that the ISP takes your issue of the newsletter and doesn't just hide it in your spam folder, but makes it completely disappear so that you never even know I sent it. It does seem from some of the answers we received from subscribers that our new countermeasures have worked in at least some instances.
But please stay vigilant. Even if you are currently getting this newsletter you may be blocked soon, or you may be partially blocked, with only some issues of the newsletter getting through. One way to help overcome this is to add JTParmelee@aol.com to your address book and your list of safe senders. Some instructions on how to do that are at http://howtowhitelist.com. You may also want to call your ISP directly to demand that they not block this publication.
If in the future you realize you haven't been getting a regular copy of this newsletter, or would like any other assistance, feel free to call me at (703) 502-0161 or e-mail me at JTParmelee@aol.com. Thank you!
Yours for Republican (and ANTI-TAX!) Victory,
