*sigh* How did Hillary Clinton get my e-mail?

[Meldread]

I really resent Democratic Leaders who pass out my e-mail address to other candidates. I'd like to know how Hillary got it.

I just got this message:

Dear Friend,

Hillary spoke to 2,000 people at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville on December 2 on behalf of the Kentucky Democratic Party. The event raised $600,000 – more than the Party has ever raised in a single event!

A number of people have asked about the speech. Here are some excerpts. If you'd like to read the whole speech, it's posted at:

Did anyone else get it? If I was interested in anything Hillary had to say she could send out an e-mail using the DNC, asking people to sign up for her spam. Then again, I doubt 90% of the people who would actually take the time to read an e-mail sent out by the DNC would spend the time signing up for her mailing list.

I already get mail from MoveOn, Democracy for America, John Kerry (which I don't read most of the time), the DNC, John Edwards (I read sometimes), among a few others and then news e-mails and non-political and news related e-mails. I really don't have time for Hillary. I get at least 15 e-mails per day, and none of them know how to get to the point and at least 80% of them are asking for money which I don't have. *sighs* Anyone else in the same boat?

1. Oh for goodness sake! Look at the bottom of the email.

All the ligit ones have a link to unsubscribe. If emails from Hillary cause you greif, just unsubscribe.

If you only get 15 emails a day, consider yourself extremely lucky!

2. At least three items of postal/snail mail..

...and at least two emails to my public email address daily. And they ALL ask for money I don't have. I'm thinking of using their SASEs to send back requests that they send ME money.

3. and then you will bitch that they are beholden to the "corporations"

and ignoring the "grassroots".

Sorry, I know how you feel -- I am damn tapped out myself.

4. Actually, I give...

...even though I don't have anything. It's just the "nickle and dime" of it. Hard to select who gets my pittance from month to month. I want it to count, but there's SO MANY worthwhile needs.

5. it would be fun to be a wealthy philanthropist

I can think of lots of projects. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do much in the last year - my hat is off to you.

:toast: :patriot:

6. I'm also on her list and I don't know how I got there

I'm on a lot of Progressive action email lists, so I guess one of them sold my info. It doesn't really matter though, because her emails go to an account I rarely use.

7. Did you give $$$ to the DCCC?

That's probably how you got on the list.
