        Hi Jonathan, not sure is Erik an NFB member?
Only way to prevent nonmembers from publishing campaign items is to moderate 
the list.
Definitely is a campaign email not from or through NFB though unless Erik is 
a member in good standing or an officerlegally though wonder if your right 
could NFBC be acused of endorsing a candidate because the list is left 
unmoderated?
