Is anyone else getting sick of fund raising calls,letters and emails

[SW FL Dem]

I donated as much as I could afford in the 04 election cycle. Now I seem to be on every liberal mailing list out there. Every day, I get at least 5 calls from various organizations asking for money. My mailbox is filled with pleas from the DNC, the DSCC, the DCCC, NOW, NARAL, Emily's List, Hilary Clinton, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, PFAW, the ACLU ... I get email donation requests from Wes Clark, John Edwards, John Kerry and the DNC on an almost daily basis. I usually don't answer the phone when I don't know the caller. This just leads to more calls as the computer redials trying to find a time when I am home. I've started answering the calls just to try to get them to stop. This is driving me friggin nuts and it certainly makes me less likely to want to donate. Leave me ALONE!!!

1. You and me both. I tell those that I would never donate to (the DSCC,

The DCCC) that I will never donate to them and tell the others that I will donate on my own time. :hi: It is irritating though. I don't like Hilary, and getting "personal" letters from her every other day isn't helping. :hi:

2. Yes.

I've actually already donated more than I can comfortably give, but the requests keep coming.

3. Yes

The calls have slowed way down, but every email begs for money.

4. Yes, it is getting OVERWHELMING

I get so much Demo-mail that it chokes my main email account. Every day in my snail mail mailbox it's another $$$ request from James Carville, Jimmy Carter, Robert Redford, Hilary, etc.

When you get so much mail, you start to tune it all out. I only have so much money to give. I gave to the Clark and then the Kerry campaigns several times so I guess I'm on the hot list.
