Just Got Off the Phone With DSCC
They started their spiel with how bad Bush was (like I don't know) and went on to give to the DSCC to support Obama's policies. I told the lady that I will give my money to the Democratic Senators who support the programs I support, and she didn't have to call me back, because I will be giving. Do you thing that message gets passed along?

I agree. They just want our money, not our support. N/t

4. Actually it is because that was likely a paid telemarketer, with no "skin in the game"

7. That's Another Good Idea
I will send those envelopes back with a note saying te same thing, and definitely without a check.

5. When I went off on them, they told me they keep a record of every call
And why people do or do not donate.

I've told them and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee the same as you - I'll be donating (though it will be time only since I am broke) to specific candidates, not to a committee. I told them that I am unhappy with the people they are supporting, that I want more liberal/progressive Democratic candidates running, not people like Rep. Allen Boyd and Sen. Bill Nelson who do NOT support the causes that are important to me.

I hope they get the message!

6. Yes.
I think that enough others are responding in exactly the same manner. I believe that they are getting the message.
