So how do you get taken off the democratic party email list?

I've hit "unsubscribe" like 4 damn times and they're still spamming my inbox.

1. Send the emails to your spam folder

That usually works for me.

2. I tried to unsubscribe and they seemed to redouble their efforts

Spam filter, now, mostly takes care of business, that is, until they lend their list to another up-and-comer politician. Rinse and repeat.

3. It takes a while

for them to stop. The phone calls never seem to stop but they do eventually slow down.

4. Change you name, get fake ID and move to Lithuania. Short of that, they'll track you down. nt

5. I'm in tears. n/t

6. Sometimes it's just not possible to

get off email lists. Or at least that's my experience. I'm resigned to having to delete at least 9 in 10 emails without reading them.

I actually have several email accounts, two of which I use most. One, a yahoo account, I acquired when I needed a work email several years ago. That's the default email I use when I'm required to put in an email address. The other one sits behind a very nice spam filter, and it's the one I use for friends and family, so there's almost no spam on that one.

7. Report them to the FTC

From the FTC's website on the "Can SPAM Act":

...snip...

Honor opt-out requests promptly. The law gives you 10 business days to honor a consumer’s opt-out request. Once people have told you they don’t want to receive more messages from you, you can’t sell or transfer their email addresses to other marketers.

According to the FTC, you should forward it to: spam _at_ uce.gov
http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/contact.shtm

It'd be a good idea to include the date of your first request to opt-out.
