Randy,
Are you sure that you did not get some "free" item like a shirt, hat , poster or whatever by just filling out a form?
Each year there are more vendors there "giving away" items in order
to collect names who they can later sell to.
SBC, Ford and Capitol One come to mind immediately.
Don't be so quick to blame the EAA.
People fall for those "free" give aways everyday.
Nothing is free. Not even freedom.

Just got a phone call. As best I can remember it went like this:

"Mr. Echtinaw our records indicate you were a participant in the EAA
sweepstakes drawing this year at Oshkosh?" "Yes, I was." "Well, that
entitles you to a 3 day 2 night stay at Lake ???? at a special
reduced rate of. . . " "Thank you but I am not interested."

I now wish I had stayed on the phone to get more information on how
my phone number was obtained from the EAA. I cannot believe the EAA
would "give" my name and number to a 3rd party but I could certainly
believe they would sell it :((( The EAA has their hand out in every
facet of their operation, it is pretty disgusting.
