A number of private citizens who signed up for White House news alerts on the official White House website woke up this morning with a nice New Year’s message… from senior White House political adviser David Axelrod’s Chicago-based consulting firm. You can see the greeting here.
The e-mail holiday message raises questions about how Axelrod’s firm got the email addresses. “I didn’t sign up for anything with the Axelrod firm, so I don’t know why I’m getting an e-card from them,” says a Republican PR consultant based in Los Angeles. “The only thing I’ve signed up for were White House alerts, and I’m not on any Democrat Party e-mail lists.”
The White House came under fire earlier this year for launching a program to collect personal online information about visitors to the White House website, and then using that data to send pro-Obama Administration propaganda to them. E-mails under the name of Axelrod at that time garnered the bulk of the attention, and now it appears that Axelrod is again using White House-collected e-mails, this time for personal business purposes.

How does one get on this WH Alert E Mail List?
Axelrod, and his ilk, are doing what comes naturally, taking advantage of the US systems for thier own purpose. After all, isnt that one of the Perks from November 08.

Pah! without marketing, there isn't communication, without communication there isn't knowledge and interest, without that there isn't politics. Getting a email about a related subject isn't that bad surely.
