Feb 2017

...imagine how furious I was when in December 2015 I started getting unsolicited emails from the Sanders campaign and Democracy for America without me ever giving either or anyone other than the DNC my email address.

You can guess the timing when those emails began, if I said here I'd most likely be alerted.

The licensed term ended riderinthestorm Feb 2017 #83

The contract allows the "perpetual' use of the data after the licensed term is over. pnwmom Feb 2017 #84

Parsing. And I reiterate, it's useless to the DNC riderinthestorm Feb 2017 #90

Lol, just call anything that refutes your claim "parsing". That'll do the trick. JTFrog Feb 2017 #112

For future claims like this... pat_k Feb 2017 #129

Thank you for this nt riderinthestorm Feb 2017 #139

Proof of what? Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #127

Proof of your claims, which amount to smears against the DNC and Clinton Hekate Feb 2017 #128

What smears against the DNC&Clinton are you referring to? Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #130

Of course she did. All the Democrats did -- it's a condition of sharing pnwmom Feb 2017 #15

I went to the DU link and then to the Politco link... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #19

You didn't read the Appendix, page 3, item e. The language is very clear. n/t pnwmom Feb 2017 #20

There are no 'Appendices' - only Exhibits. Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #21

Look again. It's Appendix A and I just found it there again. I don't know why pnwmom Feb 2017 #22

Provide the actual link that you went too...that would help. Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #23

You said you already went there. Here it is again: pnwmom Feb 2017 #25

I went there, and there are no appendices... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #35

Yeah, it sure does sound like some bull is going on bravenak Feb 2017 #43

It specifically EXCLUDES email addresses... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #48

What about the rest of his donor information? Keith Ellison felt the need to speak up: pnwmom Feb 2017 #52

So, you admit your post is bogus about the email addresses... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #60

Where was my post bogus? I said "email list" and changed it to "donor list" as soon as I realized -- pnwmom Feb 2017 #63

I also s did not see all those blank pages that he was describing. Maybe I missed it but... bravenak Feb 2017 #76

Me, neither. I have no idea what the poster was talking about. n/t pnwmom Feb 2017 #86

First, thanks for (not) admitting your error... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #65

He never gave them up which is the agreement. We did our part. bravenak Feb 2017 #69

I see you are not familiar with contracts... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #72

Oh!!! I see I am glad that we won't ever have this issue again. bravenak Feb 2017 #75

Not true. The contract said that upon the end of the licensed term, pnwmom Feb 2017 #93

It absolutely does - the data collected thru 12/31/2016 and excludes email addresses Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #98

Try reading the paragraph again. It gives the DNC the "perpetual use" pnwmom Feb 2017 #88

Reading comprehension... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #92

So? My post -- and Keith Ellison's statement -- referred to the "donor list." n/t pnwmom Feb 2017 #94

Nothing to do with the DNC contract and campaigns... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #100

I said nothing about appendices. bravenak Feb 2017 #80

pnwmom, who I originally responded to, DID. Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #82

The page Bravenak posted was part of the Appendix. nt pnwmom Feb 2017 #91

There are no 'Appendices' - only Exhibits. Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #97

There is a 16 page Appendix, and the clause is on page 3. pnwmom Feb 2017 #96

Thanks for proving my statement... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #101

Funny that Bravenak was smart enough to know that the Exhibit was an appendix pnwmom Feb 2017 #103

Funny that the word appendix did not appear in the doc... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #110

The original document referred to an appendix which turned out to be the Exhibit. pnwmom Feb 2017 #117

Asked and answered... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #118

And, most importantly, you were incorrect about the emails... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #114

I fixed that as soon as I noticed -- which was before anyone mentioned it. pnwmom Feb 2017 #115

For what? Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #116

Nothing. And me, neither. n/t pnwmom Feb 2017 #119

Wait. You misrepresented the truth on several points. That requires an apology. Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #121

You "misrepresented the truth" pnwmom Feb 2017 #122

Why would Bernie share a list with Democratic candidates who take big donations jalan48 Feb 2017 #41

Because he agreed BY CONTRACT to share it in exchange for his use of the DNC database. pnwmom Feb 2017 #44

I'm sure if a leader within the Party feels as strongly as you do they will make an issue of it. jalan48 Feb 2017 #47
