After joining with a modest donation, I then started to get money-solicitation letters from them every three or four weeks. We don't just recycle in this house; we shred everything with our name or address on it. It was a pain in the keister to shred so many of Heritage's unwelcome soliciations and recycle the unwanted photos of George Bush, "newsletters", calendars, "surveys", etc. all designed solely for money-grubbing. And God knows how many other organizations they sell their list to.
It took me four written tries over a period of a year to get removed from the mailing list. It incensed me that they wasted so much money on harassing a small-time person instead of investing in good data mining to identify the likeliest substantial donors and the most effective intervals in which to solicit donations. Why should I give to a wasteful organization?
Very good points and I understand. I quit them and still got solicited. I’d just throw it away and eventually it quit.
I haven’t received anything at all from the RNC in about 2 or three years.
Here’s a good one:
My US Senator, Cory Gardner-CO was soliciting money to get rid of Obamacare. I raised hell. I told his office that what the hell is he doing...we elected him to do that.
