Here is video from Fox News saying the White House confirmed that they used a private firm to send out mass emails pushing for ObamaCare from White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod.

The site is govdelivery.comand Eric Shawn reports it appears they work for eleven government agencies in sending out mass emails.

When first challenged, the White House would not even admit anyone was receiving unsolicited emails. Once confronted with the evidence, the White House finally admitted doing it, but blamed "third-party" organizations for giving them email addresses of people who had not signed up to receive them. Now they confirm the use of this outside firm to send the emails. . . . . (Watch Video)

So, what does this mean? I understand they sent emails to people who probably didn’t turn over their email addresses on their own, but what does using an outside service to send them mean?

If federal funds were used to do it, plenty.

The question is:

Did the WH use taxpayer money to do this or leftover cash from the 0bama campaign?

I wonder if that's the same group that keeps sending me emails from Africa telling me to claim by 500,000 pounds sterling?

I keep sending them on the FBI and they continue to ignore them.

Again I call BS on this. I post on THE HILLL and send emails to my democratic congressman and senators (Nye,Warner and Webb) I never heard of this site/group mentioned...I received one of those emails... Again I never did anything with Gov delivery!!!! I DO NOT believe this, I think they are just trying to threw someone under the bus just to make it stop. Fox keep investigating as this does not add up correctly!!!

It means that email collected outside of the world of politics received unsolicited emails.

It means, quite simply, the White House spammed people and got out of breaking the federal Anti-Spam law by using a third party company to do it.
