You and I met face to face at a Keyes event at Elmhurst College during his 2000 run. That night I gave a donation by check. His Campaign workers made a typo when they recorded that donation. That in itself is not a big deal. However, His Campaign sold that Donor List to a number of other groups. Now, over 7 years later, I am still getting junk mail with that same unique typo in the name.
If I make a donation to a Campaign, I do expect to get mailings from that Campaign. But NOT from a myriad of whackjobs I never heard of. My privacy is important to me. I cannot support or respect anyone who has proven he has no respect for my privacy.
Sorry you were inconvenienced in such a devastating manner.
By the way, donations to campaigns are public information, available at the FEC website.
I wish you well, and hope you’re having a very Merry Christmas.
