Though I cannot officially speak on behalf of the Green Party, I
do hold an elected position on the Green Party of MN's State-Wide
Coordinating Committee, and I promise you that the issue of individual
privacy regarding the use of any person's name, address, and phone number
will be on the agenda of our 2/10 meeting. I cannot imagine ANY
circumstance whereby the Green Party would sell or donate this sort of
data about an individual contributor.
If anyone is interested in being contacted, off-list, about the
outcome of our discussion of this issue, please feel free to send me a
message and I will respond as soon as I am able.
