The DCCC called me to ask for money today.
Edited on Thu Aug-30-07 01:45 PM by Radical Activist
I told them I won't donate because they give too much money to conservative Democrats and that I would rather choose on my own which Congressional candidates I give money to individually. I didn't say more than that because the guy sounded like a hired telemarketer that probably had a quota to meet.

They need to understand that their actions have consequences when they repeatedly refuse to help liberals in the general election, and when they back moderate and conservative Democrats against liberals in primary fights. Plus, I know there's no chance they'll give anything or offer any help to the Democratic candidate in my district, just like last time.

1. Good for you!
From what I can tell, they are hearing that A LOT lately. Maybe they will realize it's a serious issue and do something about it.

Or, maybe not. But at least you let your thoughts be known.

THANKS for speaking up! :thumbsup:

2. I Did The Same Thing
I kind of felt sorry for the guy when I finished with him. After all, it's just a job to him. But it gave me a chance to unload on somebody about my frustrations. I, also, am only giving to liberal candidates, in general.

3. That's what we have to do.
The party organizations are steering money to moderates and conservatives. The rest of us have to steer money toward liberals if they're going to get anything at all.

4. I hope they pass what you said along. I called Hillary's campaign
office and told them that while I like her personally I do not support her because of her policeis on free trade and her willingness to eradicate the middle class and living wage working class. She vote for CAFTA and supports just throwing all of us but the rich away. I wish she would just get out of the contest. There are others so much more qualified.
