Anyone else getting spammed by the DCCC?

Holy hell, for quite a while now, I've been getting several emails everyday from the DCCC asking for money. They upped the output this past week, though: every time if logged into my email (& that's several times a day), I found at least three emails from them, all begging for money.

So once again, Texas is the DNC's ATM. I finally had enough & finally unsubscribed or whatever they call it.

I'm done with donating to anyone unless I know them or they're running in Texas.

They are frantic, hysterical pleas for money purporting to be from important people, and all of them suggesting that if I don't send them money right now the GOPers will win every single election. It's getting very tiresome. I donate directly to candidates, not the DNC, DCCC, or whoever.

They're hard to kill, though. Every Dem Congressional candidate in the country seems to have been informed that I'm an easy touch.

but this was 3 or 4 every few HOURS. I deleted over 10 the day I finally had enough.

... the daily count really skyrockets, and I have gotten as many as 30 a day from assorted Democratic campaigns. They need some new writers, because almost ALL of them are one variation or another of "catastrophic defeat," "imminent doom," and so forth. I delete them all.

Some say, "Where are you?"
I also get emails begging for donations for candidates I have never contributed to before. Guess they buy the email lists.

This is the week before primaries in NYS and the phone has been ringing.
I am almost hoping to get a live call from the Cuomo campaign so I can have the pleasure of telling them I'm voting for Teachout and Lu.

however, the real kicker that made me ROTFL was that I received one from John Boehner this week. I don't know how I managed to get on his list.

still keep coming in another name. I'm treating them like they are a scam because I really think they are - probably being sent by republicans. lol

I've also been getting spammed by the DCCC, and apparently just about as often as you were.

I'll also say that I'm just about as bitter about how much Texas Democrats give to the national party and how little we get back. If it wasn't for the fact that the Democrats do seem in danger of losing control of the US Senate after this year's election, I probably wouldn't give them anything.

This is not to say that I'm happy about how we Texas Democrats have been treated, oh, non, no, no. I might also be polite to the poor sods making telephone pitches for more money, but I am still very, very resentful about how poorly done-by we are by the national Democratic Party.
