…or, why I will not be giving money to any political party in the future.
This last Presidential election cycle I gave a very small donation to one of the parties (doesn’t matter which). This meager donation has resulted in 1-3 phone calls per day from affiliated ‘give us money’ groups, along with innumerable mailings from similar political groups, again wanting access to my wallet.
I stopped being an NRA member a while back mostly because of the continuous pleas for more money, now! Seems my membership or donation money is me paying to be on a mailing list.
Phooey on that. I will never again give money to any political party that won’t put, in writing, that I will not be contacted again.
They are only doing what works; their survival depends on it.
Next time, just give them a fake address.
Last year, I purposefully gave no political party any money. That didn’t stop the local county Medical Society for “volunteering” my name to one of the parties. I now receive 2-3 mailings (and calls) a week from this party and their associated hangers-on.
I’m happy to report that I am no longer a member of the county Medical Society.
I was wondering if I was alone i guess not. I fed the children for a whole year and all I got from them were propositions from AHA,EWTN, every group you can name knocking down my door calling too. What a joke. I will give to the poor just not through these people ever again.
