How can I change how my NB site handles Twitter followers?

I'm running a political campaign and trying to keep my costs down. I see that NB is bringing in everyone who follows me on Twitter as a prospect - and seemingly many who follow my followers. A lot of these are business accounts as well.

Is there any way to control how NB brings in Twitter or Facebook contacts into the database? Or ways to easily find people who've been added to my database because they follow my Twitter account, so I can go through and delete the non-local ones?

UPDATE: You can now control whether NationBuilder brings in people who follow, mention, or retweet a Broadcaster's Twitter account. 

Go to Communication > [Broacaster name] > Settings > Twitter

Broadcaster Twitter settings in NationBuilder

After you uncheck the boxes next to the automatically import options, be sure to click the "Save Twitter settings" button to save your changes.

You can then find people who are following a broadcaster on Twitter, or who simply have Twitter info (to catch people who have mentioned or retweeted your Broadcaster's Twitter account), add them to a list, and remove them from your database.
