Poll question: How many political solicitations for money do you get every day?
In the past three weeks I've been getting an average of 7 solicitations from democratic goups or candidates every day. I just wonder if it's because I've been very active in the democratic party over the years. Are there others who are getting lots of emails asking for donations?

1. None, since I unsubscribed from all of the political mailing lists I was on.
I'm fed up with all of them, except for maybe Grayson.

6. Grayson's is always a good read.
Even when he's just planting "money bombs"

2. I don't know because I erase many emails without reading them.
And some of the sources are very likely to be making such solicitations.

5. You might be missing out on millions in Nigerian money, just saying... :)
So far I've sent out $85,000 to them but they promised to send me more than $25,000,000 from dead relative's estates.

3. I don't know.

I stopped answering my phone several weeks ago. No one is leaving a message, so I assume it's either many political robocalls or lots of charities.


ed. Oh, you're talking about e-mails? I don't even open them up. Every morning it's delete, delete, delete. My spam filter picks up a lot of it.

4. I haven't found a spam filter that works yet.
Everyone I tried puts legitimate emails from friends in my spam folder so I have to go through every email anyway. So I just turned it off.
