Being a conservative, years ago I had to quit the GOP. I registered as an Independent looking forward to ridding myself of their nonsense emails and texts and incessant third grade level buzzword stuffed junk mail money begging.
Unfortunately they still stalk me despite me using their postage paid envelopes to cut out my name and address, circle it in red and add an occasional rude comment so they see their futility in continuing to stalk me.
But, Nothing stops them. Yes I still vote for the (R) but sheesh I wouldn’t dare give them any money again especially after seeing what they do to thwart Trumpian candidates.
Today I got a text from Nikki Haley. Being the Stop=End feature doesn’t work I text back ‘F globalists’ hoping someone reads replies on their end then blocked the number which is now added to my list of 100’s of blocked numbers from politicians.
But then I wondered ….could a person go to jail if they somehow added leftists and Dems to the GOP’s potential donor list ?
Asking for a friend
I made a donation to President Trump earlier this year. I hate to say but now I get no end of begging in the mail and constants texts that all seem to say the same thing like claiming to be from someone close to Trump or even people running for office in other states.
I am regretting the donation.
These Mother Loving Republicans want my money while they send my money and my children’s money to Ukraine.
I believe in Collective Punishment the only way to go no money for the GOP if even one of them votes to enable money to get to Ukraine.
I am about one year younger, but otherwise I could have written your post word for word.
Nikki Haley makes me go “Boeing”.
She doesn’t need a dime from me.
>> could a person go to jail if they somehow added leftists and Dems to the GOP’s potential donor list ?
Could you restate that ?

If GOP fundraising is considered harrassment by me (to me) and obviously others in the replies here could someone get in trouble for helping the GOP find other voters to harass who also don’t want to get contacted by the GOP?
OR
Is it ok for the GOP to harass me but not Democrats ? I’m neither Republican nor Democrat
Those sorts of donation follow-up solicitations are common to political campaigns, charities, and schools. It is probably smart to select one or two charities other than church for donations so that your first donation is not eaten up by follow-up outreach expenses.
That is why I have a lifetime supply of Boys Town return address labels and St. Jude memo pads, etc. I need to enlarge my Christmas card list. What am I going to do with all these labels? Who wants a Christmas card?
I had said
“””” I could see a Half Way Libertarian but not much else out there ?”””””
The part you list here is in the Half of Libertarian ideas I don’t agree with. I like their basic limiting the size and scope of government.

Thats funny. I wish I liked Christmas cards… but hey Merry Christmas !
I’m with you on that one my FRiend! I sent one back in their postage paid envelope last week. I wrote on their questionnaire in red Sharpie “fire Ronna and the RINO’s then maybe we will talk.”
I appreciate all the junk mail. I burn it in the wood furnace for heat.
Make sure you pay attention to caps versus lowercase letters. “STOP “ is not the same as “Stop “ nor “stop”.
Nikki, Ron, Tim Scott, Pence all think being annoying as FA is going to make anyone love them.
In some cases how do we even know it isn’t some scammer with a fake site that will grab all the money for himself? I remember that happened with Sarah Palin...some guy got a lot of donations supposedly for her until she came out and said he had nothing to do with her.
The reason we don’t have a workable DO NOT CALL list in the USA — IS THE GOP.
All politicians want to constantly harass you. So they won’t do any workable laws to stop others from harassing us.
All by design.
Another good way to stop alot of this.
Cancel and remove your voter registration.
Then a month later go back, reregister. Do not give them an email address. Make up a phone number.
Remove the tools they use to harass.
My dad tried for some time to get off of Good Sam’s mailing list without any success. Sending their junk back asking to be removed didn’t work nor did calling them.
Finally he taped their prepaid envelope to a chunk of granite about the size of a pet headstone with “please remove me from your mailing list. I have bigger rocks.”
I don’t know what it costs to first class a pet headstone but they found out the hard way. They got the message. You just have to find the language that the other party understands. (^;

Thats hilarious.
Have you tried marking their e-mails as spam? After being a lifelong republican, I switched to Independent back in 2020. I no longer get calls or e-mails from the republicans. I do get an occasional mailer but that goes right into the burning pile. Now if I could figure out how to opt out of the endless calls from these Medicare people. They call my house constantly, every single day! Have tried telling them to remove my number cause I am on the Do Not call List, cussing them out, picking up & immediately hanging up my phone to not answering the phone at all, yet they still call constantly. I recently wrote our Attorney General about it and of course, got no reply. smh
How do you get smaller government out of opening the borders, and removing the concept of immigration and borders totally?
How do you get a smaller government out of legalizing everything and making a more drug-ridden decadent, and broken voting population than we have now?
Just the way it is.
Had to abandon my email I have had since the 90s after giving to some Republican candidates in 2016. Hundreds of emails per day. I haven’t abandoned my phone number yet but they have lessened and I immediately mark them as spam. I have no idea if the site is actually giving to a candidate or some clever leftist operation. I will not give another dime if I have to ID myself. If they want people to contribute, they can’t sell contributors email to every damn site that asks. If you give, make it a throwaway email because it will be useless after awhile.
