camwynDear political party of my choice:
Yes. You have had your Big Man email me. You have had Big Man's #2 email me. And now you have had Big Woman email me. And yet you do not have a donation from me. Do you know why?
because I can't go more than ninety minutes without you or one of your affiliates emailing me.
It's not like I'm a major donor. In the past I don't think any of my donations to you have been more than $25, tops- and the majority of them were little five-dollar ones during the presidential campaign. I am not sure why you keep coming after me for money. I realize you more or less speak for me, but getting dunned every ninety minutes (sometimes more frequently) with "We need your money to defeat the people who want to EAT BABIES AND DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM!!!" just annoys me. Greatly. You probably think you're organizing a grassroots effort and patting yourselves on the back for it. Fine. Do that if you want. But I don't even feed my cats every ninety minutes, and they have the power to sit on my face in my sleep if I don't remember to close the bedroom door.
Oh, and if you say 'well, we'd stop mailing you if you'd donate even once!'... there's a word for that. There's a felony for that, actually.
So no. You're not getting my money. I realize the other side is pretty well organized and pretty well funded, but being shrieked at every ninety minutes that my five dollars is the only thing standing between the United States and being totally overrun by the Hateful People of Evil does not help anything at all. I donate to groups I care about, not groups that breathe down my neck like a New York City subway creeper.
