Also, beware that when you share these "action needed!" emails, they
include your personal unsubscribe link at the end, and possibly a
subscriber ID in all the internal links, so readers who click those
could unsubscribe you or register your interest in something you don't
care about. This isn't unique to this particular email. I see them in
all kinds of political action mailing lists, including some big name
ones. They all use the same mailing list vendors. A proper solution
would be to provide a link to a website for sharing the critical
information without giving away your own subscriber information.
