Anybody know why I'm receiving unsolicited daily emails thanking me for joining "Team Hillary"?

[corkhead]

the messages imply that I joined her campaign. I did not. She does not have my support during the primaries.

I know that unsubscribing is an easy solution to this but I was wondering if anyone here has an explanation as to why they seem to think I am a member of their team all of the sudden.

[The Golden One]

1. Keep these. If you did not join the HRC campaign and you are a Bernie supporter

It is more clear evidence that Clinton took advantage of the breach to steal some Bernie data info.

[corkhead]

4. That seems too obvious; I can't believe they would be that stupid

Why would they want to annoy people who don't support them by thanking them for supporting them?

[Ferd Berfel]

9. Because it makes their email list larger therefore iot makes their support base look larger

They are preparing for a rigged primary.

[MissDeeds]

20. Bingo

Every word you said.

6. Damn Good Point!

[SCantiGOP]

7. Oh yeah, keep these for sure

Great reasonable advice from someone who has been here for less than 48 hours.

[Gregorian]

2. You sinned in a previous life? Get praying. Repent.

[JonLeibowitz]

3. It is part of the Hillary appeal: She is inevitable and you must yield.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

8. Facebook probably sold all your personal information

to every political campaign that could afford it. I get messages from Facebook every day urging me to share more personal information on line. Bernie is not the only person to have your email address.

10. ^^^ Most Probable Explanation So Far ^^^

It's not just Ted Cruz that can do this stuff.

17. And if I don't have a Facebook page?

I don't do Facebook, Twitter or any of those social media things. Yet I started getting Hillary & DNC emails a few months ago.

[MissDeeds]

21. Same here

I don't have social media but have been getting mail and e-mail from the HRC campaign.

[LiberalArkie]

28. I have a new Yahoo email address just for the election, so I can delete it when ever.

I have used it for my email for Democratic Underground.
I have used it for BernieSanders.com

In November I started getting emails from the Hillary Clinton campaign.

I figured that DU sold my email address. It did not bother me at all. Now I wonder.

[onecaliberal]

31. Hmmm, I'm getting the same emails, suddenly.

Wasn't getting them until about 10 days ago.

[Zorra]

33. I avoid Facebook, Twiitter, etc, like I would avoid bubonic plague, and

they sent me the same email.

I told them in no uncertain terms that I did not join Team Hillary, and to never contact me again, and they stopped.

[HereSince1628]

11. Is your employment associated with a union that has backed her?

I'm wondering if a union list of employees was shared with her campaign?

Similarly, are you a member of a social organization/veterans group etc that has endorsed her and that might have shared it's membership lists?

[corkhead]

16. I suppose it could be the result of some data mining but I think it is pretty bold

of them to be sending me messages welcoming me into their team. I am a member of her opposing team and sending me an unsolicited email telling me otherwise is not going to change that.

[HereSince1628]

18. I agree, I'm just trying to suggest options about why that's happening

[MohRokTah]

12. In 2012, my Romney supporting BiL subscribed me to Romney's emails,...

by making a $5 donation in my name and with my email address. I even received a Romney bumper sticker in the mail.

I retaliated by making a donation to the ACLU in his name.

[NCTraveler]

13. Welcome to team awesome!!!! Nt

14. Unsubscribing was not so easy for me...

After getting unsolicited emails from her thanking me for my support (!?), I hit the unsubscribe button. It took me to a webpage where a Hillary video started playing automatically, so I was forced to see/hear that while I filled out all the info they needed. After that, I was directed to another page where I got the message that said, in effect, "We'll suspend the emails for a while. We'll check back in with you soon!" After a couple weeks, I started getting them again. I unsubscribed again, and this time they gave up.

I also got unsolicited emails from the DNC.

I have never contributed to the DNC, nor Hillary. I have always avoided both of them like the plague. I was never contacted by either of them until a few months ago. The data breach flap explains it for me!

[Karma13612]

35. sounds about right. I have also been

getting emails from the HRC campaign and went thru the long process of unsubscribing.

I have gotten snail mail as well. I usually cross off her donation area of the form and send it back with an explanation.

She is like a bad penny that keeps surfacing.

She will only get my vote in the general if things go bad for my man Bernie.

She does not need, nor will she get my support or my money.

I cant wait to hear the outcome of the DAta breach investigation.

15. Join the club.

I have received three e-mails from the Clinton
campaign,just this week, never before.

If the DNC has your e-mail, you can bet that you
get more from the Clinton campaign. As a matter
of fact that "thank you" guarantees it, imo.

[dogman]

19. You may have signed an online petition.

This is a common result of signing a petition. It could have been a third party petition and your info was sold. Many e-mail lists are collected and sold. They are gathered from precinct workers on up. A number of campaigns also create lists which are up for grabs when the campaigns fold. I was active in campaigning in prior years and I receive e-mails from almost everyone. I have been unsubscribing from almost every one since I get up to 50 emails every few hours.

[NV Whino]

22. I've received three this week

Sent back a note on the first one. Found the unsubscribe on the second and simply trashed the third.

[JoePhilly]

23. All your data is on Hillary's secret server!!!!

[itsrobert]

24. Someone in the Sanders Campaign sold your data to a third party which sold it to Hillary Campaign?

one explanation.

[beltanefauve]

25. Back in 2004

I gave to the DC once, and then later to John Kerry's campaign directly. I phone banked and contributed to Obama in '08. I still get emails from the DNC, Organizing for America and now HRC'S campaign, which I have nothing to do with.

[Thinkingabout]

26. It is like the emails I am getting from the Sanders campaign asking for donations.

Guess the breech worked for them.

[Lil Missy]

27. Someone sent your name and email in.

My uncle signed me up for a bunch of Republican shit a few years back, like Rushbo and Glenn Beck stuff, and Drudge.

[Karma13612]

36. ouch! sorry to hear that. eom

[drm604]

32. I tried to unsubscribe.

I was taken to a page with an annoying autoplaying video, and given two choices: "Pause emails for 30 days" and "Unsubscribe".

I chose "Unsubscribe". In response I got a page with the following message:

See you soon!

Thanks for letting us know that you'd rather not receive emails for a while -- we'll check in later.

[Starry Messenger]

34. I was getting Bernie's.

With Weaver's latest nonsense I finally hit unsubscribe. Took me 30 seconds.

Did you know that the first cat show was held in 1871 at the Crystal Palace in London? Mee-wow!
