The problem with that is she was born disabled and passed away over three years ago. She voted dem twice in her life...I called the campaign and made them take her off their list. I also told the woman who answered the phone what I thought of him and what I thought of her for working for him...I need a drink

(4,390 posts)Second, we've recently received solicitations for gold-plated Trump commemorative coins? The cult must be getting a cut of those - Will they spend in Russia like the rubles flowing through the NRA? LOL.
Obviously, now that you ranted on them, they will relish how they got to you with their cruelty. They deserve every word!
Pouring you a virtual Tanqueray Sterling vodka now!
Good on you, revenge best served ice-cold - bottoms up!

(8,000 posts)We still get things from Republicans for my mother-in-law who died in 2012. I never considered calling them because I have to admit I enjoy shredding it and using it for kitty litter.

(9,821 posts)unless someone stole her identity? Maybe you should check it out. There are scumbags out there who steal the name, SS# and info of deceased persons for evil reasons.

(22,250 posts)You can check with your county elections office to see if she is still on the voter registry, and ask them to remove her. They will probably send you a form to sign and return.
Another possibility is the list they were using is very old.
Or if she had SS disability benefits they used that list.
If they asked for money, I would tape a bunch of pennies to the donation form and send it back so they have to pay for the postage due. Or old video game tokens. Or those lead discs

(19,193 posts)but they always send them so you have to pay the postage, probably because too many people were doing exactly what you suggested. I received a "questionnaire" earlier in the year. When my mom went into hospice I changed her legal address to my address. I figure that's how they got my name, since she was a republican her entire life. I filled out the questionnaire, railing against Trump at every turn and letting them have both barrels for abetting the criminal, and for a "donation" I taped a shiny new penny to it and wrote in wide black marker, "for my thoughts". I then affixed extra postage (I wanted to make sure they received it) and I haven't heard a word from them since. Some asshole republican in the RNC had the privilege of reading my take on the "wonderful" Trump presidency. They did get my penny though, but I figured republicans wouldn't bother with a penny. At least I got to vent my spleen about the asshat in the White House, and I wasted some junior republican's time.

(4,079 posts)He's careful never to spend money to do so, but he figures every penny they spend sending shit to him is a penny they don't have to contact someone who might actually be persuaded. (He gets LOTS of stuff from the NRA. )

(9,426 posts)I lost a son so I understand how you feel. The hurt comes back each time his name is brought up. I got begging letters from Roger Stone and his wife!. I have despised him for years, ever since he screwed up Al Gore's presidential run. I hope he gets prison time, he has deserved it for years and years.

(14,144 posts).... Brad Parscale. He sucks up data bases like a Hoover vacuum to use the info on the campaign. Some sort of a deal where he gets a cut of all donations to the fuhrer's campaign.
So any new donors who are made repeat donors, this fattens Brad's wallet big time by increasing his cut of the total dollar take.

Total disregard for American or world Democracy. They consider Democracy a pinko snowflake lib threat.

(8,716 posts)Thom Hartmann, progressive radio and Free Speech TV superstar, donates $5 to trumps campaign as Fred Flintstone just to have an inside view of the the trump scam team. He reads them on air, and the mail is right wing propaganda to the extreme, makes Fox noise seem Fair and Balanced. Every one ends with cash begging. And those hurt most by his presidential scam, gladly give grocery money from the children's mouths. Like poor, sick church goers that give their last pennies to the evangelical Con preacher that has a private, untaxed jet.

(25,258 posts)One woman in Texas got a Vote By Mail application for her daughter. Her daughter has been dead since 1989.
It was sent from the Texas Democratic Party. It made the news and of course, "Democrats and dead people voting" was the headline.
