etc.

also, you are not required to send anything. i usually know fundraising letters and almost never open them and delete them right away. if i want to donate i will go to a site and do it on my own when i can and want to.

but there are many who do send money and it does go towards democratic candidates because of these . so i have no problem with them sending them out.

I've given 3-4 times on some days, and the emails keep pouring in. ... still wanting more ...

They remind me of used car salesmen ... it's really quite unbecoming of my own party ...

but no doubt those lists are sold around. That kind of pisses me off.

I get about 6 political requests a day now, vs the 20+ per day last year.
