4. I only donate by mail...

Oct 8

I get bunches of e-mails these days since Kamala's campaign found me, but I can block/unsubscribe/delete those as desired. Will not respond to emails, texts or phone calls. Yes, I get tons of begging letters from about every candidate running, but I can deep-six those if I don't want to donate to them. (I'd LOVE to donate to lots of them, but I'm not made of money.) On the forms on the back where they ask for phone and email, I just put "On file," and I get nothing. But I understand your gripe--it's totally reasonable to not want to be overwhelmed by the begging.
