Dear WhiteHouse, BarackObama.com, and others

Enough already. Yes, you have my email, yes I donated to the campaign but two emails a day is too much, regardless of the topic. I hate to unsubscribe if this can be construed as lack of support for the President but, really.

Thank you.

Both OFA and the Democratic Party. Then there are the other groups. I probably get 3-6 emails a day asking for money I don't have.

I'll enter my name when the TSA stops groping people at the airport.

Unfortunately those of us Democrats abroad are excluded from that (maybe with the exception of those in Canada because they are close enough they can fly into the US).

Frankly, I just delete each without even reading.

I think that most ask for volunteering to get organized and moving to "action."

It may ask for money, too, I don't read beyond what I see at the top of the message.

Then you can look at them, or ignore them, as you please.

but I think I can arrange that.

Of course, they all have different names, one came from the daughter of one of the slain teachers in Newtown, but after the name it does says BarackObama.com so perhaps this will have to be the rule.

Thanks
