Political spam

You should not be punished for trying to be helpful. We have made contributions to several democratic political candidates because we supported their promised course of action, but now I am continuously asked for more money. I am not only annoyed by the frequency of these requests, but also the tone. After bringing up an issue and a position I likely support, there is a request for more money. Sometimes the request appears within a competitive framework – the republicans supported by “some rich guy” have already raised $xxxx. I guess the idea is that I am supposed to help the dems catch up.

I still don’t get the use for the requested money. My assumption was that my representatives would vote in keeping with their promises. Why do I get the feeling I must pay additional money for this service?

So, anyway, this is starting to feel like spam. Despite all of the advice from the best tech experts on how to deal with spam, I have decided to request that I be unsubscribed. The reason given for not responding at all is that this offers the spammer assurance that there is someone out there receiving the emails.

Anyway, I did decide to unsubscribe and I thought the experience deserved public disclosure.

Selecting the link to unsubscribe sent me to the following page

Evidently, the site creators have not seriously tested the unsubscribe option. OR, now I must donate to have my name taken off the list.
