Not true at all. I'd say the same thing whether a signature was an ad
for the Democratic Party, Republican Party, Libertarian Party, Loony
Party, etc. Explicit calls to join a political party (of any stripe)
should be left off this list, in my opinion, whether they are part of
a signature or the main body of an email. It's just in bad taste.

For example, MDLUG list moderator Garry Stahl has a pro-Libertarian bit
on his website (<http://phoenixinn.iwarp.com/Politicks/whatis.html>),
but I've never seen an explicit call to join the Libertarian Party in
his posts to the list (please don't start now, Garry! :).
