“Will you chip in $1 right now? We’ll send a free sticker to say thanks.”
Perfect example of how little these people understand economics and finance. What are the odds that the cost to “send” a “free” sticker is not greater than a $1 donation?
My thoughts exactly...stop having stickers printed and use that money to fund her massive voter fraud
It's a psychological tactic. The point is to get them mentally committed to the idea of donating by getting them to agree to a small amount.
Once someone has mentally accepted the idea that they should donate, as they are getting prepared to send the money they realize that $1.00 is simply silly, and will therefore donate whatever they think is necessary (in their own mind) to keep someone from thinking bad about them.
I'll wager that most of these $1.00 inducements actually result in a $10.00-$50.00 result.
Because even getting someone to donate even a dollar has him putting skin in the game. A voter might be sitting on the fence but by donating even a dollar he has just committed himself.
Same reason I’m no longer an NRA member. They used twice the money my membership cost just trying to ask me for more money.

We should all do this, after making a disposable email address. Get them to send us stickers and lots of follow up fundraising mail, which costs money. Some of the fundraising mail might include return envelopes, which must be opened and processed at paid-for mail centers.
Reply to each fundraising email with a megabyte (or six) photograph.
I have an email account that is specifically for Dem and prog fundraising messages, it is amusing to browse through once in a while and reply to many with an attached American flag photo.
When I see a local enemy politician doing a standout, I will waste their time and take as much three-color offset expensive literature as I can get away with.
