Wikileaks Part 2

Wikileaks has sent out a followup message, which has been forwarded to the Coleman Campaign as well as my State Rep. They have now released the names with substantial information, including partial credit card numbers with verification codes, of donors to the campaign. They are also requesting money.

Following our earlier email over the Coleman leak, we have discovered
that all on-line Coleman contributors had their full credit card
details released onto the Internet on 28 of Jan, 2009 by Coleman’s
staff.

Senator Coleman was made aware of this yet elected not to
inform supporters in violation of Minnesota Statute 325E.61:

We provide proof of here (Windows Excel spreadsheet), which if you
are a contributor will provide the last 4 digits of your Credit
card and the security numbers on the back. Please check:

Since the database has been floating around the internet, we
suggest you call your bank and cancel the card.

However if you are one of our supporters and appreciate this warning
don’t forget to donate to Wikileaks (Sunshine Press) first!

They publish people’s donor information, amount, and credit card details, enough info to aid identity thieves, and they want these same people to give them money? Sounds like a strong-arm tactic to me. At the very least it is an attempt to cut off future donations to Republican candidates for fear of such exposure. And that’s intimidation.
