I did after Moore won his primary. Sent Jones $25 or so. I immediately started getting screaming, hysterical e-mails insisting I send more!!1! I unsubscribed with a note explaining why.

that will be my rule moving forward. I'll donate and if I get that sort of response, there will be no more donations.

I hope he wins. Too bad about following that fundraising via email advice tho'.

But my feelings.. I'd put up with the e-mails in this case....This in a way is as huge as Trump/Clinton..
I realize that may sound crazy...But this may be the turning point which changes everything.
Last election was a good start... But it has to be only a beginning!

You cant blame campaigns trying to drum up support. Its the norm. If the emails bother you, I would suggest you make your email client send them into a folder. After all, being mildly inconvenienced is a small price to pay for supporting democrats, especially him running after this despicable roy moore.

Every seat we keep or take back is one less seat for Republicans.
