As long as there is money there will be someone asking you for it.

A few months ago, I blocked all of the messages coming from the Democratic
Party so that I wouldn't get so many fund raising messages. I'm still being
asked for money by lots of other causes. And because my messages are often
qudrupled, I spend half the time cleaning out my inbox. Optimum has now
responded twice to my complaint about multiple messages. This last time, my
problem was being referred on to somewhere. Haven't heard since.

I'm so glad to hear someone else say that. They have monthly gift and leave a
tip defaults, and even if you refuse, they charge your credit card anyway.
Besides, they need a more bold, positive message than stop Trump. I wish
they'd just promise not to raise my taxes.

Hi all,
I am now thinking about some of the messages that Miriam has posted here
regarding how the Democrats who ask for funding are extremely pushy.Well, it
seems they are now giving a whole new definition to the word pushy. My delete
key finger is getting very tired of deleting messages predicting gloom and doom
if I don't open up my meager wallet right away to support the Democratic cause.
Seems to me the Democrats have done very well with fundraisers throughout the
summer season.
I believe that the scare tactics and pushiness of the Democratic leadership
could very well backfire if they don't turn down the noise a bit. Also, they
ought to know that one cannot squeeze blood from a stone.
