Mom's March Campaign for Senators Supporting Kavanaugh

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the DU Community Help forum).

So around midnight EST Sunday I get an Email Thanking me for supporting the Mom's March Movement for Senators Supporting Kavanaugh. WTF???<., Before I ask to be taken off their email list, I demanded to know HOW they got my email since I NEVER sign up for this group. I suggested that if they cannot answer my question, that I would expose them as being a part of a Russian Troll Farm.
They are also on FB, so I message them and asked the same question there, I also pointed out that my email to their return address "momsmarch@homemakersforamerica.com" bounced back to me as an "Unknown Address". I did write some really nasty stuff in both communications but I am tired of this BS.

In the pass year the NRA sent my DEAD Dad (over a year) a membership kit suggesting his dues were late. My Dad a WW2 vet was Anti-Gun. We weren't allowed to even have toy guns in our house. I wrote to them and suggest that respect an dead WW2 vet wishes and take him off their list

Last Year Michael Huckabee's group called my Parents #, (which is on the Do Not Call List) asking for some Donation for some type of Book. I also wrote to them and they said that they were "Non-profit" and didn't have to go follow that list.

My brother will say that I am overreacting to all this. Has anyone on DU had to deal with this BS???

Something like Smith or Jones or Martinez?

Just a thought.

Should I come out and say ''russian trolls" ? Could be. I think they are infiltrating all social media including Facebook / YouTube etc. Who knows at this point. It's all getting very scary.

You can now see the list of entities that have uploaded your contact information to Facebook looking for a match.

I had Kanye West, some auto dealer that was 10 states away, and a lot of other wierd ones.
