Any thoughts on the DCCC? Just got an appeal for $ from them, and
left them a long message on their site, but I'm wondering who feels they are a legitimate group in that they really seek input from the voters.
Love them or hate them?

1. If I can identify them on caller ID when they call, I don't pick up.
I'm afraid I'll tell them to go fuck themselves and I'm normally not a rude person.

2. They seek your input
into their bank account.

Other than that, try to call them and give an opinion, tell me what happens.

3. They hounded me for money
I finally told them I would donate to the Democratic party directly or to great causes like here
and to my local Democratic party in San Francisco. They were terrible, always calling me..

4. Yeah, they always send my wife pleas for cash, too - I wanted to
send them some comments, but I am afraid they would just use my address as part of a mailing list and disregard any comment I might have....

5. They called here. I told them to go ask a corporation for money, I was
not donating anymore. They told me only republicans do that, I politely told them to go to hell. I haven't heard back from them again. Anyway, my caller ID just listed I believe an 800 number, no named identity. I never bother with anyone calling me unless I recognize the caller ID. I only answered this one because I was getting F'ed tired of about 5 calls per day on my cell phone which I had ignored. I'll give to my dem. candidate of my choice.

6. Last time I just mailed back the empty envelope.
Got another one a couple days ago. This time I'll write something on it like "since you didn't get the message last time, I'm giving exactly what I'm getting--nothing"

7. Fuck 'em. Donate to Dem candidates who share your values directly
With Act Blue, who needs DCCC?
