My e-mail account and internet access is blocked for one month because I sent an e-mail asking for middle school and high school students to volunteer at the local Barack Obama for President field office.
You will not believe this.
On Monday, October 6th, I was called into the office of Kate Dunning, the Associate Principal at Sheboygan South High School in Sheboygan, Wisocnsin. She informed me that I misused my student e-mail account on serveral occasions to spam students and administrators. Now the e-mail that she is refering to is an e-mail that I sent to middle school and high school administrators in the Sheboygan Area School District, asking for student volunteers for the local Democratic Party / Barack Obama field office.
Now I feel that is not spamming and I also feel that I did not misuse my student e-mail account that is provided to me by the school district. I thought that the e-mail I sent was an informational one and was an educational one for the students that wanted to get involved in a political campaign that they or their family supported. I should also note that due this, they have blocked my internet access and my e-mail account for one month. Its funny thst they blocked my internet access as I did nothing wrong on the internet, as far as I know.
I have received a South High School Botton Line Referral for this so called "Computer Violation". I was not informed that I was going to receive a referral for my actions. Also on the Referral, there is a line for the student's signature. Guess what? I was never asked to sign that referral. Instead, Kate Dunning felt that she could just write "Student aware" on the Student Signature line. She lied. I was not aware that I was going to receive a referral.
I have sent an Open Records Request to receive the e-mails that I've sent as well as e-mails that staff members within the district sent regarding myself. I feel that they blocked my e-mail and internet access based on my political involvement. Once I get the documents I requested, I plan on sharing them with the DailyKos community. I will also post the documents on my website for public viewing. The e-mail I sent was not pushing anyone to vote, support, or volunteer for Senator Obama or the Democratic National Commitee. It was a simple e-mail asking for volunteers.

MY PERSONAL FUNDRAISING GOAL:
As a young American, I dream of a President who is honest, personable, intelligent, and wise. I want a leader with courage and integrity who has known the struggles of an everyday American. A lot of people have stopped believing that may even be possible. I haven't stopped believing. I support Senator Barack Obama because he is that leader.
