Doug writes: As far as that goes, I wonder about Park Board Reform emails also. Both myself and my co-worker, who lives in Dakota County, have received the Reform blurbs at home and neither of us have signed up for anything remotely connected to their cause or endorsed candiates using home email. But what makes me wonder... The only other election-related email that comes to both of our our homes is from the Rybak campaign. And again, neither of us have ever signed up for his campaign. "Co-worker" carefully guards her relatively new home email address, and hasn't ever given it to any political cause or list below the national level (during last year's Pres election.) In my case, I may have used my home email when attending precinct caucuses last spring. Then again, I do not receive the PIP emails at home. Just Rybak and Park Board Reform. I'm guessing that Barry is correct. Any good market-savy campaign would do the same. I'd further guess that it is not illegal to sell an email database unless your organization has a specific policy stating otherwise. Doug Walter Pondering in Nokomis East REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
