Just got an email from David Hogg...

And "Leaders We Deserve.' A fundraising email on father's day talking about his late Father and asking for donations.


I've never signed up for emails from his pac or given them my address. So how did they get it?

If you put a unique identifier in your contact info you may be able to track who sold you out, but you can't really stop it.

Being on the Hogg PAC email chain is not the worst place to be though. Most of us would probably end up on it anyway.

But I wonder if there is another option.

The DNC definitely has that email.

emails from him when he was elected one of 5 vp's of DNC. I think they may have been fundraising emails for Leaders We Deserve. Now that he's stepped down he's free to fundraise and may have lists from DNC. Just a supposition...

Question is, did he use it?

And did he copy it for "superior" and "more important" ends?

You know, when I saw the subject line that Hogg sent somebody an email, my immediate thought was, "He's got his hand out asking for money for his cause." Which is not the DNC's. (Note the sheer number of local DNC chapters that helped sponsor and organize the No Kings protests. Didn't hear anybody, yea- or nay-sayers, mention his name. Catch the wave, catch the drift.)
