I just had to un-subscribe from Congressman Ron Barber's email fund raising

Ron took over from Gabby Giffords and the few times I heard him speak he impressed
me as a good guy so I sent him a little money because where I live in Ohio my
House District is so Gerrymandered that Rep. Tiberi (R) could screw a goat as he was
holding sacks of cash from the Koch Brothers in public and on live T.V. and still be elected
but Rep. Barber's non stop fund raising and the way he others sell or distribute my email
and home address have really pissed me off. At least 1 email every day along with fund
raising letters seem a bit much to me. The same can be said for the dccc and others.

Pissing off your supporters with non stop fund raising is no way to run a railroad.

BTW "they" need to stop w/this "our last chance" and "the dangers are so big" you must
give right now emails.

The Dems need to realize that liberals operate with their cortex, not their amygdala. That's the conservative part of the brain.

I delete most of the recent emails. I have a set amount I can give, and once I do that, the emails don't make a difference. I do my best.
