Ted Cruz "Unsubscribe" Not Working on Campaign Donation Solicitations
opinion | 28 January 2016 | ShivaFan

Posted on 01/28/2016 8:55:59 AM PST by ShivaFan

In the first weeks of the 2016 campaign, I made nice donations to Rand Paul, Trump, and Cruz campaigns. I have never been solicited for donations from the Trump campaign, I have made my donations to Trump 2016 from the campaign's webpage. I also signed up later for the emails that announce Trump's campaign appearance stops, these have not solicitated for donations.

Both the Paul and Cruz campaigns would send me regular emails solicitating donations, often they have been of the "emergency" tone. Early on I continued donations through these emails, about four times more to Paul and twice more times to Cruz. My follow up donations to Trump were only by way of his webpage, I never received emails directly solicitating money.

My final decision was to vote Trump.

The Cruz solicitations by email became annoying in nature, especially the tone of them and I was appauled by the conspiracy theory nature of some of the Cruz supporters and their hatred of the majority of the Republican base, some of which was of the fringe element that was at times schizophrenic even from some or something from a bad rerun of the Munsters, as lame and as off issue as Megyn Kelly's first "question" (which was really a statement and not a question, and designed to dislodge the Trump campaign early on and which amounted to the exact tactics of the Hillary campaign) at the opening of the first Republican debate.

So a while back, I decided I no long wanted to receive these solicitations for campaign donations from the Cruz campaign since the Cruz campaign felt like the Crude campaign.

Three times now I selected the "unsubscribe" option at the bottom of the email, as well as the "unsubscribe via email" option.

The solicitations from the Cruz campaign continued anyway. And they continued, and continued. I just got another, so now I am complaining publically. This one said I was added to the email list. I am sick of this. Again I just selected unsubscribe.

I am not unsubscribing to the Paul campaign, he may have some things to say about the annoying nature of Cruzism and crude demeanor. I really have come to dislike this, and I want his relentless solicitations for money to stop.

If Cruz cannot manage these solicitations in a responsible, unannoying way, how can he manage a nation in a responsible and unannoying way? What kind of annoying campaign is he running? In my opinion, his annoying solicitations for money has me concerned if this annoying attitude will demand and continue hounding money from the American people in general if he would ever become President.

I have now seen enough debates, that's enough and I think we have had enough by now and need to move onto a more 21st Century theme of townhalls and the internet events as far as the primary cycle and the base doesn't need another half-dozen debates to make up their minds. Enough is enough, it is really all about money for the cable channels at this juncture who profit off the popularity of Trump and other than that serve no purpose, especially considering the unprofessional self-serving moderation. My mind is made up, and please, quit ringing my doorbell Cruz campaign, you are annoying.

The “Unsubscribe” button signals the Cruz Camp that you have a functional email address, and thus will push out more and more pan-handling emails...

Once you give to anything, your contact info takes on a zombie life of its own, being sold and passed from one group to the next. I replied to an RNC mailer years ago telling them where they could “insert” their organization. And yet I still get mailers from groups that I’ve never heard of.

Has it gotten to the point that they call you a non-believer if you don’t send money yet?

Or is that just in here?

I sent them a detailed invoice a few years back requesting my money back. I have not received a piece of mail since.

Who would want to? He believes in God and the constitution.

you know, I’ve never seen an email program that doesn’t have a “block” function.

USE IT.

Cruz campaign has spent all my donations to them and more, just in their tired-ol’ continuous direct mail ploys TO ME. Really has ultimately pissed me off at this wasteful and forceful way of raising funds. Spigot is now off.

I donated to Ted early on in the process, the donations dwindled as I experienced the morphing of Ted.

Now I can not stop the spam or the mail being sent. What a waste.

I dumped the Cruz e-mails into SPAM. Finally they stopped.

LOL!!

Hubby has tried, unsuccessfully, to unsubscribe from CRuz’s emails for over a month. It just gets worse.

Out of the blue, I received a CRuz send me money letter, the other day. Boy, did I have fun with that one. ;-)

Pretty much said, “Not just NO, but ____ NO!!”

You are lucky you just get emails, I get phone call everyday. I have declared myself dead, illegal, muslim etc. They still call during diner time. Even one day Friday morning 5.20 am.
Its not annoying, its plain harassment.
