I just received my second e-mail from the HRC group, guy named Mook, so I responded by asking

them to please remove my name, I was a Bernie supporter. I also asked how they got my e-mail address. Hahaha, think I'll get an answer?

It's called pulling the lever for Bernie.

17. Probably from responding to polls, surveys and petitions that require an email address.

I never trust those things and if something like that interests me enough to participate, I'll use a unique (disposable) email address that only THAT organization may use. The disposable address simply forwards to my actual email address. If I start to receive messages from anyone OTHER than the one organization I gave the email address to, then I'll know that they sold it, or that they have security issues.

In any case, disposable email addresses can be disabled or discarded, and my primary email account remains under my control ... their spammy messages are bounced and never forwarded to me again.

6. Surely you get various kinds of spam e-mail

How do the spammers get your e-mail address? From lists of addresses sold by vendors of such lists. There's no need to assume that the Clinton campaign got your address by hacking the Sanders campaign's database.

8. Spam can look like regular e-mail

I get spam that's addressed to me by my first name. First and last names are obviously included in many of those commercial e-mail lists.

10. DU email list?

I have wondered if Skinner made some money by selling her the DU list? Seems like a fair question. I know most people are positing that Hillary got the email addresses from the DNC data debacle.

I got my Hillary emails, but they started before the DNC data thing, which is why I suspected DU giving or selling her its list. Probably not the case, but a question worth asking.

I had a hell of a time finding out how to unsubscribe from Hillary, finall got it done but it was not readliy apparent.

I considered it spam.And there was no "unsubscribe"

13. Doubt it. I get emails from their

Campaign as well and I have given up trying to unsubscribe.

Infuriating isn't it?

Can't wait to see what happens with the data breach investigation.

16. I posted on another thread - I only get snail mail from H

I think they got my address from AARP and think I'm too old to have email.

You'll never get my vote even if you resort to smoke signals and carrier pigeons, Hillary.

14. I Have Given To Many Democrats They Have My Email Address - Got One From Hillary Today

I put it in the trash, but I didn't unsubscribe.

If she wins, I want her emails, even though I am a strong Bernie guy, and have given him hundreds so far through my own Act Blue.

I also bought a bunch of Bernie signs, and try to put up at least one a day as I travel around Seattle.

15. Should have told them what I did...

Except that once I hit "send", I got an auto-response thanking me... For THIS?

I’m not part of the Hillary team. Did you come across my voter information as part of the glitch you kept blaming the Sanders team for?

Maybe Debbie could get her friends at Kroll to decide. DWS surely can connect the dots based on Kroll's combined background and experience of Wall Street and using CIA operatives.

I wouldn’t bother contacting me again. Just apologize to Bernie Sanders at the next debate… Not to worry about as many Americans hearing this apology, as DWS had all that taken care of by hosting a total of six, if we’re even that lucky.

Bye now.
