I can't believe my Inbox.....getting slammed by Emails for money.

It's a pain in the ass as I've given $400.00 this month. But they want more! Sigh....will kick another $50.00 because I am so damn proud to support our Party and this Country.

those of us fortunate enough to be able to do so can do it on behalf of ouf fellow dems who are struggling every day. i maxed out on Joe Biden. Never had I done it before for a candidate. Our democracy is at stake this time.

I get about 9 or 10 emails a day from the campaign, the more you give the more they send.

I wish I had more to give, but things are really tough right now and I give what I can and that has to do.

We will win. We have to win.

And put our beloved Joe Biden in the White House to protect us.

It's important.

Sorry about the email deluge. That is what happens this time of year.

It's automated. They aren't going to think badly of you if you give nothing.

I delete most political emails .

No matter how worthy, I prefer to give locally or to a couple of compelling non-local candidates. I figured the candidates bought a list from Act Blue.

It will be worth it all if there is a blue wave in November. It there is not a blue wave, the money will be worthless anyway.

Republicans can't match Act Blue. Why? Cuz, the loser that support Trump have no $ to pony up. Republicans would be dead in the water without Citizens United allowing the rich and the foreign dark money to prop them up.
