Audrey Moran endorsing Alvin Brown?

[geauxtigers31]

I spoke with a couple of people within Audrey's campaign over the weekend and they think a full out Audrey endorsement is unlikely. Alvin will be getting a lot of behind the scenes support, but will it be enough??

[CS Foltz]

Gentlemen I concur! The significant other and myself will be voting for Mr Brown! so that makes a total of 4! Now if we can just convince the other 50k needed..........maybe!!

I have contacted the webmaster but am still getting those stupid emails.... if any of you know who is behind Audrey's email list being given to Alvin Brown... please take me OFF your list.  It's VERY offensive that my information was given to another candidate like that.  I saw nothing on her website that allowed the campaign to do that.

I don't know specifically how it may have happened fieldafm, but several of Audrey's campaign staff have gone to work for Alvin.

Can you mark it as spam and direct it to your spam folder?

Sounds like something weird is going on.  I haven't gotten an email (like that) since Friday.

If you get "very offended" by receiving unwanted emails, or emails from people that got your address through another source, you must get "very offended" quite often. I usually receive 5-10 emails a day from places I didn't necessarily sign up for. I admit it can be a bit annoying, but I just discard them or spam them like I think most people do. Its all part of having an email address, or a physical address for that matter. Since most of Audrey's supporters are likely to move to the Brown camp, it was welcomed by most...and simply discarded by the few others. Its all part of networking, grassroots organizing, campaigning, etc.

Thank you for making unfounded assumptions about me, but this week I have had to replace a very expensive laptop b/c of a computer virus. 

Yes, I am very offended by someone giving my personal information to someone else without my consent.

I have put in MANY volunteer hours and donated money in this election... and none of that entitles other people to give my personal information to other people without my consent.  I don't care of Audrey supporters(of which I was one) went to work for Momar Ghadafi or Mother Theresa.

Someone's personal information that is NOT publicly accessible is not part of 'grassroots marketing'.

This is not the first time concerns have been raised about emails and Moran.  This piece was by Abel Harding of the TU.

Email from Audrey Campaign Upsets some Leadership Jacksonville Members.

Diane, bad mistake to question Audrey Moran on these emails. I am so disappointed to read your post. by the way, she was for keeping and chartering the ethics commission. Something your candidate opposes. I would leave Audrey alone. She has a very loyal following of some of jacksonville's finest.

[Diane Melendez]

I questioned nothing Matt.  Simply shared an article from the TU about a similar instance likely a result of an over zealous volunteer in the Moran camp. If you dispute what is in the article than I would take it up with the TU.   

On another note, did the Moran campaign give their email list to the Brown campaign?  Now that is the real question and is not an accusation, just an inquiry. 

[Timkin]

I would wholeheartedly second you on that, Stephen. 

[mfc]

No more defense needed. Bad post Diane.

agreed Matt...Diane is off base on this one!
