To borrow a phrase from the Founding Fathers: "We hold these things to
be self-evident."

All published email addresses should in all circumstances be regarded as
exempt from unsolicited bulk email, just as fax machines are currently
protected.

The simplest path is to write your Congressional representatives and
encourage them to fix this matter by clarifying the terms of the
anti-junk-fax law to explicitely include protection for email users as
well as fax owners.
