The White House 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, FOX News has learned.
The company, Govdelivery, describes itself as the world's leading provider of government-to-citizen communication solutions and says its e-mail service provides a fully-automated on-demand public communication system.
The revelation comes after the White House acknowledged this week that people were receiving unsolicited e-mails from the administration about health care reform and suggested the problem was with third-party groups that placed the recipients' names on the distribution list.
Govdelivery sent hundreds of e-mails from senior adviser David Axelrod asking supporters to help rebut criticism of Obama's health care plan circulating on the Internet. It also sent e-mails highlighting Obama's speech to the Muslim world in Cairo and the announcement of Sonia Sotomayor as a Supreme Court nominee.

Sorry for the language, but I would have been SO PO'd if I had gotten one of those. And you know it is a huge PITA to get off that kind of list.
Strangely enough, I was able to get off the DNC list. Maybe that was because of all the charming things I sent them as the O-ineligible installation progressed (e. g., insisting that Hillary step down when she was winning primaries, massive amounts of lies about Hillarys, etc.).
