What nerve these people have.
The White House has fessed up on the mass emails they’ve sent out trying to sell ObummerCare to the American people. Fox News reports they’ve been using tax dollars to pay a private firm to handle the email campaign.
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.
It is still unknown how much taxpayer money the White House provides to Govdelivery for its services.

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.
Republicans quickly pounced on the news.
“This is yet another ominous chapter in the administration’s rabid campaign to jam its radical health care scheme onto an unwilling public by any means necessary,” Rep. Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan said in a statement.
McCotter’s right – this is a rabid campaign and we’re stuck footing the bill for it. And it certainly would be nice to know exactly how much we’re spending on it. So much for transparency.
