Cause/Email Overload?? Coordination needed.
I receive so many emails from so many groups, some of which I belong to and some of which I don't.

From campaigns in different states that I might have contributed to once, asking me to host a house party etc.

Mostly all for good causes.

However, yesterday I got the same email 3 times from one Democratic candidate's office.

I use one email account for all of it, but it gets to the point that I don't even read ANY of them because there are simply too many to read.

I wish they'd get together, as most of the sources would agree on most issues. I wish they'd have a clearinghouse type setup, to coordinate and only send out one email about a given cause, and track where a contribution came from so don't send email to out of staters for in state functions.

I would be likely to participate more if this were done.

At one time I responded to almost all of them, acted on them.

In time, it has become clear one could spend full time doing so.

And then there's the endless snail mail as well. Political.

I sent emails, made calls, etc to get off other mailing lists. But now I get a ton of political snail mail.

Who can respond to it or deal with it all? Who would want to?

Arghh.
