Every Dem organization has its hand out and it's getting annoying..
:rant:

<rant>

I have just officially unsubscribed from DSCC, DCCC, DemocraticMajority, FDP and DFA's mailing lists because it is just getting ridiculous for them to be SPAMMING me every single day, sometimes two and three times a day to churn their list with a contrived nontroversy and then use it as a reason to solicit me for yet another donation.

I will continue to put myself on individual candidates lists that I support but I can no longer tolerate the nonsense of these PAC's and the DNC, DSCC, DCCC, and FDP asking me for money and being totally insensitive to my situation.

I have enough real bill collectors harassing me about legitimate bills. They don't need your help.

Just because I gave to you in the past when I had a job and could afford to give and when it mattered to get people elected when we were NOT in power and didn't have money doesn't give you a perpetual license to harass me for money I don't have NOW.

Get a CLUE DSCC, DCCC, et. al.:

1) The election is OVER - we WON. Don't ask me for money less than 6 months after we won.
2) I'm unemployed and broke. A LOT of Democrats are. If we aren't giving, there's a reason - it's NOT because you aren't harassing us enough for money - it's because we don't have it to give.

STOP ASKING! Get us JOBS and wait a YEAR before you ask again.

1. I agree. We've done our bit. It's their turn to show that the money was well spent.

5. Actually, I want some decent legislation
and some sign that the White House cares about Americans and not just American companies.

2. Amen! It's every other email and my mailbox is full every day.
On top of that, I have all kinds of charities from animals to food to foreign countries asking for money. I finally threw up my hands and said no to all of them for now. If I gave to even half of them, I'd need my own charity.

3. Just added "Give'm Hell Harry" to that list!
He just panhandled me too.

I think he needs to rename his PAC to "Give'em HECK Harry" because he sure doesn't give them HELL.

When are you going to make the Republicans ACTUALLY go down to the well and ACTUALLY start reading us the phone book on CSPAN instead of just allowing them to phone their filibusters in?
