a donation every month for 5 months now. But 20 to 25 emails and texts everyday asking for more money is getting iritating. I will continue donating once a month but give me a break. I plan on doubling my donation once the real campaign starts. My neighbor is a Trump supporter and he has the same complait about Trump.

(16,685 posts)But culling through mass emailings for people that have already donated would be a huge labor expense (not just necessarily money but volunteer time). Thank you for giving what you can. Please try not to take the spam personally... if it wasn't effective they wouldn't do it.
I recently gave a significant amount to my Democratic candidate for Senate and have not yet received a thank you and still get appeals. Annoying as hell but in a post Citizens United world its what we have to put up with.

(16,685 posts)You've already given them something and if you can't afford more then don't. No need to feel guilted into something.

(5,641 posts)They are up against the biggest threat to Americas Soul and are fighting for every dollar they can get as Dump is VERY well funded.
Just ignore the spam, delete them as fast as you can, they don't take it personally. They know you will do what you can.
I appreciate all you do, as I am sure they do as well. I know I can't give a lot, either and I wish I could give more, but I just have to delete the messages and move on.
The single most important thing they need from you and me is our vote. The money is secondary, it helps, but our vote is what really counts.

Last month after I got my Covid19 check, I signed up to donate weekly to the Biden campaign. Same as you, I started getting tons of emails. After the first week, I used the unsubscribe link and have not been getting more.
I do still get calls from the Biden campaign, but I am nice to the people who are working hard on our behalf. I stop them in the spiel, tell them I am signed up for regular donations, and thank them for their work. Hopefully they have a box to indicate that I am a supporter so they can save volunteers' time.
