Why am I on Clinton's mailing list now?

Did this just happen to anybody else? I've gotten three mailings from the Clinton campaign in the last four days.

I just set up a few months before. That e-mail was only used at DU, DI and to contribute to Bernie.

an e-mail address. But I was happy to think I contributed a little bit more to the system. Now I wonder.

I know the DNC gave her my contact info because they misspelled my last name. It is an unusual misspelling. I have received a lot of junk mail with that same misspelling now, and I know I have to thank the DNC for that. But I am wondering if I will get something from Clinton with that same misspelling. Now wouldn't that be interesting?

plus O'Malley's.

I deliberately didn't want to waste either Sanders' or Clinton's resources with a name that wasn't on their side. I was just surprised to start getting these.

for various fundraising and vice versa.

So if you've been on someone elses lists, it likely got shared.
