Bad move by me
obama rally, originally uploaded by binderella_.
In a fit of stupidity, I signed up on Barack Obama's website for a chance to get tickets to his Election night rally. I should have run away when, in order to get on the list, I had to give Barack Obama's campaign my name, address, and phone number, in addition to my email address.
What price for a chance to bask in reflected glory? At least three e-mails today from Joe Biden, Michelle Obama, and Barack himself. I fully expect a robocall of some sorts tomorrow.
Indeed, the Sun-Times notes that now Obama has a pretty sizable list of new people to harangue for money the next time he runs for election. I guess I really have nobody to blame but myself.
It's not going to be anything new, because over the years I have somehow wound up on the mailing lists of Big Tobacco, the ACLU, and Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood? I support the ACLU and all, but I'm pretty sure they sold my info to Planned Parenthood.
Barack Obama, if you sell my information to, say, Todd Stroger, we're going to have to have a conversation.
