The White House for the first time Sunday somewhat acknowledged that people across the country received unsolicited e-mails last week on health care from the administration, suggesting the problem on third-party groups it claimed placed the recipients' names on the distribution list.


White House Health Care E-mails

I'm not sure how many people on ATS had received the e-mail regarding health care which was directly sent from the White House e-mail list. Apparently, they're passing the blame onto third party groups for placing the e-mails of those who received the e-mail unsolicited. Took the White House about a week to finally say something.

It took them that long to come up with a lie plausible enough.

In my humble opinion. . .

Side note, why do I even have cable? I get more news from ATS!

S&F
edit to add; David Axelrod didn't know anything about this? How stupid do they think we are?

White House Using Private Companies For Health Care E-mails


CapWiz, owned by Capitol Advantage, is a widely-used online service that sets up a line of communication between everyday people and officials. But a company representative said the program does not automatically sign up people for e-mails from the office they're contacting.



Axelrod e-mail was sent by a company called GovDelivery. That company, based in Minnesota, bills itself as the world's leading provider of government-to-citizen communication solutions and says its e-mail service provides an automated, on-demand public communication system. GovDelivery does extensive work with a bevy of federal, state and local agencies, including a number of Cabinet-level departments. But Scott Burns, president of the company, told FOX News he had no comment on whether the White House used his firm to send out the Axelrod e-mails.


So, the White House hired a private company to send out the mass e-mails? I wonder if this company has made any sort of 'donation' to the Democratic Party.

The White House confirmed to FOX News that it hired a private communications company based in Minnesota to distribute mass e-mails, helping to shed light on how some recipients received e-mails in support of President Obama's health care plan without signing up for them.


White House Reveals E-mail Source

So let me get this straight, the White House used taxpayer money to send out unsolicited mail? So essentially, we paid to have our e-mail boxes spammed. That's great. I wonder how much that cost.

Also, the White House denied involvement and blamed other entities for the spam, but yet, they were the ones that contracted it.

Seems like Foxnews was the one pushing the issue on this. Everyone else seem to be afraid to take on the WH.


Exactly and I wouldn't expect to see any media take up the story now. Instead, John Stewart will be making fun of Fox and Republicans, MSNBC will be demonizing white people and the rest will run stories about hypothetical non-stories about the Bush administration.
