rep steve king?
i just got an email from steve king inviting me to subscribe to his e-newsletter. now this is a first to my knowledge, i am not in iowa and i for sure am not a republican!

on the side it said, click here to watch Rep King discuss the repeal of obamacare on FOX news. come on.

did this happen to anyone else? it was a no-reply address so i couldn't even write back telling him to leave me alone, and why. there was an unsubscribe option which i exercised.

i'm just wondering if this was sent to every email address in the USA because i don't have a clue otherwise how i may have appeared to his people as a possible fan.

I made the mistake of opting our of an email that I was getting and the next day and every day following my spam catcher is full every day. by opting out I let them know that my email was a working email that I used. I don't make that mistake anymore.

3. I received his "invitation" too, this morning.
I have written him several times (e-mail and snail-mail) asking to be removed from any and all address/e-mail lists he uses, and he continues to send me noxious printed matter and e-mails.

I have no idea how he got your e-mail address -- I suspect he may have a mole at a petition site or two (no doubt receiving any pro-women's rights mailing list or pro-environmental list would tickle him silly).

The man is an insufferable egoist, flushed with success after seeing three justices removed from the Iowa Supreme Court, following their unanimous decision that the Iowa Constitution overrides and negates any law preventing gay marriage.

Three judges rotated up for retention vote in November's election, and Rep. King and ultra-conservative VanderPlaatz from Sioux City led the campaign* to have them removed from the Iowa Supreme Court. (The Western WingNuts of Iowa Coalition is now demanding that the remaining judges resign.)

The replacement judges will be appointed by our Republican Zombie Gov Branstead, who wants to do away with Iowa's universal pre-school education and also "save money" by cutting funding for women's clinic services for low-income women. (All heart, our Leader Terry is -- women and children first).

I fear that Steve King (IA-05) honestly believes that the only reason some people don't agree with him is we don't "understand" his opinions yet, and this scattershot e-mail thing is his attempt to pound us into seeing things his way.

But none of the liberals I know could be that stupid if they tried . . .

Peace.

* I suspect a large part of the financing was from Things-Go-Better-With-Koch money.

4. oops i tried
to rec your post! thank you. i'm not even in Iowa, never been in Iowa, probably never will. i'll just put the next one on my spam list if they won't honor my request to be removed.

a rep who touts his discussion of "obamacare" on fox "news" - i knew this email had to have gotten lost on its way to somebody else.
