I kept getting these Bernie Sanders emails... [View all]

Don't know why. I never signed up. So I just kinda let it go - not feeling one way or another about it. He's running for the Dem nomination, I'm a Dem, might as well hang onto 'em for reference. But yesterday I finally decided - hey, I'm a Hillary supporter. And I'm almost strangling under all the emails I get (from EVERYBODY AND EVERYWHERE and on loads of subjects from the bead world to the band world to politics to green living etc etc etc). I probably should thin things out a little. So I decided to unsubscribe.

And here's what I got:

UNSUBSCRIBE
We’re sad to see you’re endorsing the Koch Brothers’ agenda in 2016!
Okay, we know you’re not doing that — you probably just don’t want to get so many emails from the campaign.

Grassroots mobilization is how we’ll level the playing field against candidates with SuperPACs and wealthy donors. We hope you’ll reconsider leaving, make a contribution to the campaign, or join us on social media at:

You can also choose to receive fewer emails — we’ll only send you what we think are the most important messages from our campaign.
