Probably the 'Net's.  The idea is that the Repubs & Demos get copies of
the lists of qualified voters -- which are public record -- and then look
up their e-ddresses.  If you vote in a Primary you're obviously a live
one.  I suspect NOW got my name from either NARAL or the Clinic Defense
Task Force, both which I gave my e-ddress so they could let me know when
we needed to go out and agitate for women's rights.
