I got a call from the DCCC requesting help with money.
They claimed that my contribution would be matched. I believe 2 to 1.

Personally, I wasn't interested. I first confirmed that it was the DCCC. Once they confirmed they were I asked if the local candidate for Congress was being supported. They again confirmed that they weren't. I did all that to make sure they understood that was the major reason I wasn't contributing. I told them I had been contributing to the candidate they were not supporting along with other more local candidates. They still kept at it and I closed off by telling them that I am tapped out and retired.

1. If you don't mind me asking who is the candidate they aren't supporting?

3. Well, with all these stories about the tide turning
somebody has to be a Debbie Downer.

4. I had the same conversation when the DCCC called me.
I told them that as long as they were no longer supporting Grayson, I would no longer send them any money. My donations would go directly to the candidate.

p.s. Thanks for reminding me, I think I'll stop by the DCCC website.
