I get a call or an email every day from the GOP and tell them: “no money for RINOs.”
They will probably remain stuck on corrupt, weak and stupid.
Excellent!
I did the same thing about 5 years ago.
Well I guess this belongs in News/Activism forum......
You’re a great American!
I changed affiliation to Independent about 8 months ago. When someone from the RNC asked me for money I told them that I was no longer a Republican. When they asked why I had changed I told them I could not be a liar the way they were and I could not be a Democrat who at least admitted they were. End of conversation and no more calls.
I no longer get letters. Used to be inundated with them. But I kept sending them back, saying I no longer support the GOP due to its shabby, backstabbing treatment of Palin. I don’t think I’ve received anything from them since 2012. But I kept my word, and no longer go down the ballot and give every GOP candidate my vote. Only bona-fide tea-party candidates.
A single digit ‘6?’ Are they spoofing their number?
I let them prattle on, play their important recorded message - whatever and then say “no”
Just to take up their time & money.
Way to go! I’ve told them the same thing. It felt good!
They’ve been calling me. I told them no money till they start focusing on issues from a conservative perspective. Few outside of Washington DC sees immigration, climate change, or many of the other issues they get stuck on as important and until they start fighting for conservative constitutional values I’m not giving them a penny. I’ll give directly to candidates and that is it. I’m not giving money to re-elect Thad Cochran’s and Lindsey Grahams. Sorry no deal.
I did something similar back in 1998.
Welcome!
We should try to get a bit more specific, or else get written off as kooks.
If I were called, I would say something like: “My money will flow again once you seal off the border, make life uncomfortable for the ones here, and RENOUNCE Amnesty once and for all”.
That way, they’d have something to take to the higher-ups. I’d also stick to just one subject, and Amnesty is the game changer right now as that eliminates us as a political force if it ever gets passed.
I realize that one person won’t have any effect...but many of us just might start to get a message across to those otherwise tone-deaf bastards.
Had a local Charleston Republican party meeting about a decade ago. When they found out I was a Freeper and did some Freeps they asked me to leave. Told me I was too radical for them.
Can’t believe all of you Freepers actually answer the phone for solicitors: landlines? I used to give a monolog like some of yours about why I am no longer a Republican. But it was usually into the ear of a newbie college kid who was doing volunteer work for the party. So I gave up on trying to make a point. Reince and the boys care about ONE thing: money. And there are still going to be big donors who keep the party going, making us peons who gave $100/year irrelevant.
I too give directly to the candidates..but am much more careful now to try to do research first on whether they A. have some chance of winning and B. are truly Conservative.
I received a money solicitation from the RNC. I wrote back on it that I will never donate to them as long as they continue to allow Obama to destroy my country and keep sprouting such awful candidates like McCain, Romney and Boehner. I also told them that I will not support a group that vilifies conservative Americans such as myself. I left them my phone number in case they want to hear me say it. I am sure I won’t be hearing from them.
