1. Which explains the 10,000 emails I got last month

I don't mind getting a few, but jeez they really over do it on the fundraising emails.

3. Yeah I know what you mean

I myself got tons of democratic party email's

2. The new pitch is that of course we must out-spend the Kochs.

The media is in hog heaven. Citizens United repeal is not going anywhere, IMO. Everyone has already bellied up to the trough.

4. I actually had to unsubscribe. Particularly since a lot of them feels insulting.

5. Ditto...

I give what I can when I can - I always have. But I don't need a constant stream of emails telling me my best isn't good enough. I know better.

6. Agreed, some of the emails were trying to shame me to give.

Can't really bleed a turnip you know?
Granted, I could still probably give, but, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, the way they are doing it.

7. The irony is

I actually gave a big chunk early this year since I knew the kind of fight we have on our hands. My reward? An email box full of high pressure emails to give more. I understand and I will give when I can - I just don't need the guilt trip.

8. Same thing here. I decided that October volunteering for phone banks and canvassing

Would be the best thing to do for me.

9. I think you are right on!

I will be doing the same!
