STOP soliciting me for money.

[angka]

I'm glad we all love our candidates. They're great guys and I want to hug them all.

But they have plenty of ways of soliciting money from their growing support bases without doing it here. We are already bellicose and unforgiving here in GD, we need not add money-grubbing to the list.

Does anyone else agree that overt fundraising threads are the equivalent of spam?

1. I see one thread asking for money

2. yep

I'm with you on this one! :bounce:

3. No! I don't care...It's better than the fat cats giving money to bush

It's easy to ignore if I've given all I'm going to give.

4. We ARE somewhat bellicose and unforgiving...

...but (playing devil's advocate) I suppose we don't HAVE to click on candidate threads. We have no similar choce about spam.

Point well made about soliciting, however. Maybe a separate forum for that?

5. Nope, I don't agree. Most;ly, the posts here are to encourage supporters

to continue to break records. Speaking for myself only, if you cant afford to/don't want to donate, get out and support your chosen candidate. If you can't do that for some reason, let your friends and family know whom you support and why. If that doesn't work for you, just think good thoughts. ANT level of support is great.

6. I hate when you send someone $ 25,

and they waste the money sending you 4 more requests for money.

7. I hate asking for money

but the revolution will not be televised if I don't.

8. I think I need to start overt fundraising threads for myself

I'm actually tempted to run for mayor on an overtly fascist ticket just to make propaganda commercials and jingoistic pitches to conquer neighboring towns due to century-old squabbles.
