..................No, I cannot make this up. Tammy Baldwin, and Kyrsten Sinema would like some money.........
...I got letters today from both of these Democratic Senators asking for money. But nowhere in either letter did it say when their upcoming re-elections are going to be....repeat ...NOWHERE!!!!...
... The two letters were worded differently, but the focus was the same. The two current senators wanted to get a jump-start on the Republicans who they will face in their next election. Oh, the Republican Party will be spending lots against them, so these two need money to fight their upcoming battles.
.....But the only word I can use is "obscene" to describe these people asking for money now.
... Both of them are running for re-election in 2024...MOST IMPORTANT: repeat.. Neither said when their re-elections are going to be.
... I had to look both of them up. Not 2020 or 22. So, our system of elections suck. These candidates did not have the nerve to tell me that their re-elections are going to be, 2024. They avoided that. They both wrote in their letters (words to the effect) that they needed to do the groundwork so that they can beat their opponents, and they needed to do that now. "Can I count on your support today?" They both wrote those words in their pleas for donations.
...Yes, I have donated before to campaigns, of course for Democrats, but 5 years ahead of their elections? Yes that is obscene. I have thought of sending the letters back to these senators with a short explanation, and then a very large 2 words: F**k You.
...Sure both of them need money, but not now. Other candidates need funds more than two sitting senators who have lots of time to raise funds. (yes, 5 years is a lot of time.) The system sucks, and these fund raising letters prove it. ........ .......... ....... ............

(38,449 posts)...I set up an extra email location that politicians send emails to. I never look at that email site. I don't recall
how and when I did that, but I do look at that one from time to time, just to check it out. ..So many from so many.
....And it never stops. Never... What an awful system.
