(18,402 posts)I have no idea why Jeff Merkley, for instance, writes to me three times a week. I live in Illinois, and have been to Oregon only twice in my lifetime.
I have made donations to (or in the case of OFA, worked for) a couple of these groups in the past: I think they sell or share their email lists and it just starts to grow geometrically. It makes me nuts.
And as for Manny's request that they say something more important in their emails: it doesn't matter. They just want your donation. They'll be happy to say anything that gets you to press the donate button, but it doesn't mean anything.
(I'd rather they told me exactly how their money will be spent--say, hiring staff or paying rent on a campaign office; but I've given up on that. I know they think they get more results from scream headlines about Republicans.)
