I am getting weary from getting campaign donation requests from every candidate for every office in every state. My email account is over-run by these beggars.
I realize that money is the "Mother's Milk" of politics, but there have been many cases of Republican winners who were outspent by a fairly high margin. Since the Dem platform is so weak, the donations don't seems to make much of a difference.
I'm also weary of getting fairly generic requests for donations for House races when the donation actually goes to only one candidate once you get down to it. This seems deceptive.

I commiserate completely. I have started 'Unsubscribe' -ing or just blocking.

I keep wasting my time writing these people and telling them this; they all seem addicted to $$$$. A truck driver ran as Republican in New Jersey in 2020 - ran on issues - spent $153 AND DEFEATED the most powerful Dem in the state.
I have stopped relating this story to Rep candidates who apparently only want money. 😫
I was way past weary of pointless fundraisers a long time ago, No email-—just postal stuff. Sometimes I’d reply with a one liner asking for their platform. A few weeks ago I dumped the whole pile of letters and started over. In the last two weeks I’m back up to a 3” stack. But I quit replying individually and started making up my own “flyer.” Don’t have it done yet but here is a rough draft. Use it if you want or it fits:
Dear candidate: “Beat Dimokrats” is not a platform. I can’t help you if you can’t state plainly your platform and your intentions. If you want my financial support I need to know what you actually stand for. What I need to hear from you is the following:
1. Pledge to impeach Joe Bidum.
2. Pledge to declare Harris ineligible as a non-citizen.
3. Pledge to find the FRAUD in the 2020 election.
4. Pledge to finish the southern border wall.
5. Pledge to begin deportation of all illegal aliens.
6. Pledge to not establish amnesty for any and all
illegals.
7. Pledge to work to bring manufacturing for US consumption back to the USA.
As a side note don’t send campaign money to any Merryfield, VA address. That is the home of professional fundraisers and the candidate will not see much of your contribution. Find the home office address of anyone you want to help and send directly to them.
