I resent getting an email from Obama using Kerry's list
In 2004 I was on Edwards email list which, later, was merged with Kerry's.

Since then I have been getting occasional emails from Kerry but had to register afresh at Edwards'.

I am glad to get the ones from Edwards but object to having Obama emailing me without my consent.

12. I know, but did not find any link for this
at least emails from businesses - legitimate, not spam - have a link to unsubscibe.

Looked again, all the way at the bottom. Done.

16. There is a link at the bottom of the email
You can click on it and it will go to a site to manage your Kerry subscriptions. There is a button to un subscribe from all.

17. You're assuming they honor unsubscribe requests.
Most spammers don't. I'm really getting tired of the dozen or more unsolicited political spams per day. My e-mail address in on a web page as a volunteer for a candidate, and I think that's where they're getting my e-mail address.

Obama? I'm on Obama's list cause I signed up and there's a link there to unsign myself if I want.

9. The list was part of the endorsement
I think this is a reasonable way for Kerry to show his support for Obama. After all, if you were on Kerry's list, you weren't automatically added to Obama's. You just got a polite invitation.

18. Take it up with Kerry.
Write him a nasty email, letter, or call him. Tell him how offended you are that he had the nerve to forward your email address to Obama's camp without your permission! :mad: :grr:

I'm sure you'll feel much better!

Oh, and don't forget to unsubscribe yourself from Obama's list. :-)

21. Oh, grow up.
I was spammed continually by all the candidates, even the Rs. Our mailbox was full of brochures and our phone was ringing off the hook everyday before the caucuses. And we have an unlisted number.

22. Mark it as spam.
Un-subscribe
Block the e-mail address

POOF! No more Obama e-mails from Kerry.

23. Why the hell do you think we care?
Just block the emails. We really need to know you don't want emails from Obama.

25. Better start a bunch of threads about it. That's more effective than unsubscribing.

27. Ah, but you would not. The winner gets the spoils
and in 2004 Kerry beat Edwards into submission.

28. And if he had endorsed Edwards
and I got an Edwards email because of it, I would not be whining about it at DU. I'd just delete like I do whenever I got an email from someone that I don't agree with.
