Reply #57: especially since it's BECAUSE you contributed...

The reason they have your number is because you contributed. What kind of incentive to contribute is that, then? "If you send us money, we'll harass you with phone calls for more money." The only mailers I don't mind are the ones that have all of the current party candidates listed, since that's actually informative, especially with the local candidates you might not otherwise know about. Then I can choose whether I want to contribute and to whom, and the candidates aren't wasting a lot of money on multiple mailings (or annoying potential contributors with them).
