What if these email requests for donations allowed the email recipient a "time-out" function in which no more emails are sent until a specific question or two is answered.Alessandro Machihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316327488702524564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406748910519793683.post-71160512965324135952015-09-03T18:14:15.967-07:002015-09-03T18:14:15.967-07:00I agree this is a problem.

I made a small contribution the Hillary Clinton's primary campaign in 2008 (because I also can not afford to donate to everyone who asks me for money, most of whom I know have a lot more money than I do), and this year, I began to receive emails asking for money at least twice a week. Since my ship still has not come in, I replied with some questions about what Hillary Clinton would propose to do to make the lives of people with physical disabilities a little easier. I spent a long time crafting a set of three questions and explained why I thought it was important for her to address (i.e., basically, the helplessness caused by working so hard to achieve goals only to find yourself ill from an incurable disease (not lifestyle-related or communicable) and losing your spouse, your job, your friend and your family, and finding that the federal government expects someone else (not them) to take care of you. In addition, they give do things to make it harder for you to take care of yourself, like prohibiting Medicare from negotiating prescription medication prices, causing them to be more expensive than they need to be. <br /><br />IMP everyone who is asked for money should first put to the asker questions about how they would del with problems that you are having where the federal government clearly is empowered to do something to make life easier. The Clinton Campaign claims they she will do "things to help the disabled" but what? I'm awaiting a response FIRST, before donating. It's enough to donate and then risk the pledge being reneged upon. Someone should at least take a few to read some questions and answer them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954366111234781342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406748910519793683.post-33573897851172678842015-08-31T10:53:16.348-07:002015-08-31T10:53:16.348-07:00You've hit on the main reason I quit contribut...You've hit on the main reason I quit contributing to Democratic party. No only do they badger you daily for money, the NC party gets your name and starts calling you at home. I get at least one call a month in the off season and one a week during campaign season. It is beyond annoying. I still contribute but it's greenbacks in a bucket.Bob Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05242937151007030508noreply@blogger.com
