The GOP "sold" me to ConAgra

I was just looking at my in-box at work and saw an e-mail advertising Healthy Choice frozen entrees.

The e-mail was addressed to "Q." which is the first name I used when I signed up with the RNC to receive their interesting e-mails. That is not my real name, and I have never used that designation anywhere but with the RNC. Here is the "from" line of the e-mail ; Healthy Choice

So, I can only conclude that the RNC sold its mailing list, with me on it, to ConAgra. I see that ConAgra is a heavy contributor to the Republicans. Might ConAgra actually be an even bigger donor than what is shown here, since it certainly paid a price (potentially inflated) for the RNC mailing list?

Any thoughts? Similar experiences?
