I wish John Kerry would get out of my pocketbook!!!

[Raven]

Geeze! I get an email from him at least once a week and it is always asking for money. Today it's for a Massachusetts charity that I have never heard of but he's doing a fundraising bike ride for. I'm in New Hampshire and I'm on his mailing list because I supported him in 2004. Why should he use his political mailing list to raise money for his pet projects? I find it really annoying. Well, I guess I'm just a mean old lady!

1. Me too, I thought John Kerry ended with a hugh surplus of unspent

...contributions from the 2004 campaign, like over $2.0 million!

2. He's Not In Your Pocketbook. You Can Also Unsubscribe To The Emails.

Since you ain't sendin him money, I fail to see how he's in your pocketbook. As far as your annoyance with the email goes, unsubscribe to them. Simple as that.

4. Good point. I'll do that.

3. It's called mass marketing, I don't think John Kerry invented it

You get on an e-mail list, they send you solicitations. If you aren't interested you ignore it. What's your beef with getting an e-mail? Seems a rather noninvasive fund-raising technique to me.

6. Ah, I know what it's called. I did not opt onto a "mass marketing"

email list. I opted onto a Presidential candidate's email list. I don't like getting junk email anymore than I like getting junk mail.

7. Okay

If e-mails from John Kerry were all I had to worry about I would be in pretty good shape. But you obviously have the right to be mad about anything you want. Personally if I felt that strongly about it I would just filter out the e-mails.

5. I've unsubbed from that list four times.

This is no way to build a team. :(
