I have been receiving emails forwarded by friends who
do not know better than to believe everything they
read.
With election time upon us, I constantly am receiving
emails from friends making accusations about the
different candidates.
This really upsets me. All of them know that they
can go to www.snopes.com and check out anything, but
instead they just forward them on to their friends list.
It is an insult to my intelligience for them to
think that I would take something off the internet
as truth, without checking it out first. But many
people do, and repeat it to others.

I would take the time and resend the same emails to your friends and tell them when you get the facts then they can email me about them until them just let them know that you do not want to receive email about that stuff...It is up to you if they are your friends I would suggest chatting with your friends about the content they are sending you and make sure they know about snopes.com

This is from a group of classmates who graduated in the late 1950's, early 60's. I have replied back
over and over again, referring them to Snopes.com
to see that what they have sent is not true. But
a few of them do it anyway. I have almost stopped
emailing 3 or 4 of them. One is a retired teacher
whose excuse is that she never reads those things,
she just forwards them on to us. Glad she didn't
teach any of my kids. And the thing is, everything
that she sends is against one party.

It is a shame. All of the misconceptions and lies told about the candidates. I wish people would check the facts before telling others, and ranting about the candidates because of untrue information. Hopefully, in the future people will stop believing every thing they hear and get the facts staight.
