I am really paranoid, please help!

[babsbunny]

I got an E-mail at work which was also sent to my other 2 home e-mail addresses, and was sent to [e-mail]. It was from Dick George Cheney Bush and the return e-mail address is [e-mail]. It was slamming Blacks and Democrats as related to the Katrina relief efforts. How did they get every e-mail address of mine? I do get daily alerts from Buzzflash at work but nothing else political. My other 2 E-mail addresses are where I get all kinds of political e-mails such as truthout.org, Buzzflash, etc. How could this happen? Have these neo-cons somehow aquired my e-mail addresses?

5. Anyone who knows all your email addesses

could have typed them in to receive those emails. Even if they're not a close friend, etc.

6. Might have been picked up from a broadcast email

If someone had sent one to all 3 of your addresses. These things often get forwarded a lot to who knows where.

11. Here is what the email in reference said:

From a McComb, Mississippi resident
What I have seen since Katrina:
The poor and the wealthy hurt by the storm.
Black, White Hispanic, Oriental and Indian all hurt by the storm.
Christian people giving, giving, giving.
Churches going all out to minister in Jesus' name.
Neighbors going door to door helping one another.
Thugs and hoodlums going door to door looking for someone vulnerable.
Ice and water being fought over as police tried to keep the piece.
People coming up from New Orleans taking over empty houses because shelters are full.
Out of town volunteers coming with food and staying for a week still serving it.
The Churches all over this part of the Country doing what Christians do in a crisis.
The Red Cross doing a great job in the shelters.
The Salvation Army doing a great job in the Community.
Four hundred crewmen from everywhere bringing back the power to our homes, Churches and businesses.
Lines at service stations a block to a mile long.
National Guardsman patrolling the streets of McComb along with Kentucky policemen protecting us from the hoodlums and thugs of McComb, Pike County and New Orleans (the most dangerous City in the world before Katrina)
Drug dealers working outside shelters.
WHAT I HAVE NOT SEEN
The ACLU setting up a feeding line.
People for the American Way helping in the shelters.
The NAACP doing any work whatsoever.
The American Atheist orginization serving meals in the shelters.
Jesse Jackson directing traffic at the gas stations.
I could go on but do you get my message? It is the Christian people with love and compassion who do the work.
The gripers in Congress should come on down and get in line to pass the water and the ice. Are you listening Hillary, Chuck, Teddy and all the sorry loafers we call Senators and Congressmen. They don't have a clue as to what this life is all about here on the Gulf Coast.
Boy do I feel better now.

This seems to be a person not well educated because even I noticed alot of mistakes. I wonder where it really came from, and how they got all 3 of my addresses.

12. Anytime you log onto any corporate site, of sign up for anything, or

fill out your email when going for a contest at a store - they get your email. The lists are sold - etc.

We all get junk. This is junk. Put the address in your junk folder and you will not have to look at it.

[Polethebear]

13. better yet,

download and use it for toilet paper.

but that might chaffe.

Just trying to make you laugh!!!

14. Anyone who ISN'T paranoid IS crazy

I sometimes think the whole point of the internet is to gather the names of people who will be on the New Enemies List. Anyone who has ever interacted with a progressive website, or viewed porn, for that matter, is known to them.

As usual, hope I'm wrong.
