Did anyone else get 3713 Emails meant for sen. Obama?
I don't know if this was a joke or what but I checked my mail just now only to find 3713 Emails from people pleading with Obama to vote no on FISA.

I check that particular account about once a week and I was just blown away. What am I supposed to do with them, It would take forever just to delete them and I have no intention of keeping them. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I should do?

5. Looks like freeper spam...
...made to make people angry at either Obama or angry that FISA gets attention.

7. They are all different from people all over the country
I read a few and they are legitimate. I saw no sign that they were some kind of spam. They are sent to the address I used when I signed up at barakobama.com.

10. That is an email group
on his website. I get the emails too but I signed up for the group. I put it on digest as there were so many emails.

12. I didn't sign up for that group or any other
Probably just a glitch in the system. Deleting them now.

8. Did you just join a group on "mybarackobama.com"?
If you did and didn't click on the option that you don't want emails, you'll be on a list serv that sends you a million emails (I know because it happened to me!) You can go back to the website and change your options - sorry I don't remember exactly where.

9. Just delete them, too late to get in a tiz now. We're screwed again on that one until we change it.

11. Yes. i signed onto the No on FIsa thing and got them too. Go to one of them, through the link you
can stop the emails. It is actually a group we have joined, and the default is receiving every email. just take a minute and you can turn it all off.
