HRC history of renting out her donor mailing list...and: HRC supporter owns co. doing CNN polling??

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18958566

Last year, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton took the unusual step of renting out some of her lists. The transaction once again highlights the Clintons' connections to a businessman who now faces questions from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reports from Clinton's campaign show that on Dec. 3, it collected payment for renting out three mailing lists, the sale of which netted them $8,225.

But most intriguing of all was the renter of the Clinton list: a list brokerage company that is a subsidiary of one of the data-collection industry titans, Info U.S.A.

Info U.S.A.'s CEO is Vinod Gupta, a close ally of both Clintons. Gupta's empire also includes the Opinion Research Corporation, which conducts the political polling for the television network CNN.

The list brokering industry has existed for decades, primarily serving legitimate customers like magazine and catalog companies. InfoUSA, one of the nation’s largest list brokers and a publicly held company, matches buyers and sellers of data. The company maintains records on 210 million Americans, according to its Web site. In 2006, it collected more than $430 million from clients like Reader’s Digest, Publishers Clearinghouse and Condé Nast.

But infoUSA has also helped sell lists to companies that were under investigation or had been prosecuted for fraud, according to records collected by the Iowa attorney general. Those records stemmed from a now completed investigation of a suspected telemarketing criminal.

Between 2001 and 2004, infoUSA also sold lists to World Marketing Service, a company that a judge shut down in 2003 for running a lottery scam; to Atlas Marketing, which a court closed in 2006 for selling $86 million of bogus business opportunities; and to Emerald Marketing Enterprises, a Canadian firm that was investigated multiple times but never charged with wrongdoing.

And should CNN not be giving a disclaimer when they show their prez race polls??? Like sharing who owns the company and their ties to HRC??

when you get that telemarketer call during dinner you can thank Hillary,

than a few thousand dollars out of it...wouldn't be done unle$$ all individual$ involved were benefiting greatly from it all.
Really odd campaign connections just under the surface of this race...HRC tentacles keep popping up all over the place.

Loss of trust goes hand in hand with loss of donor$.


I cannot wait for the next FEC report..she can't spin or fudge their website information.

Here is hoping her campaign is listed under the "Termination" section the next time they update their website--May 20th.
