They pay no attention.

I donated to the BC04 campaign this year. I turned down the RNC and every time they called, I told them why (mainly because they withdrew funds from Tim Michels at a critical point in the campaign, based on polling, and then ineffectively returned a small portion late in the campaign when polling showed Tim still had a chance...too little, too late and the PR on the w/drawal hurt him). Flash forward to last week and I get the ranch photo of W and Laura, addressed to me, thanking me for my RNC contributions.

To make it worse: my campaign donations came from a couple of different checking accounts and one credit card. All 3 are in slightly different variants of my legal name. During the campaign, I noticed that I was getting 3 different copies of each campaign spiel(I got 3 separate photos each time they were sent and 3 Christmas cards, etc). I purposely sent the donation requests back (with no money), pointing out they were from the same person and that they needed to merge their mailing lists by address to conserve resources.

None of it made a dent. I think it is all automated. We have much more $$ than the Donks and I still get requests for money to all 3 names at the same address.

"None of it made a dent"


It will when enough people do it. Many folks are changing their registrations to "independent". Pols do notice when their numbers go down.
