Related: About this forumweekly mails from the HRC campaign
For the past several weeks I have been getting weekly mails from the HRC campaign asking for a single dollar. contribution. I presume this is because they want to lower the average on donor contributions while upping the total donors. I will vote for her in the general, if she pulls off the nomination, but I find it insulting that they cynically ask for a dollar rather than the, say, $25 that other campaigns do. It's like they are building a Potemkin village on the backs of "the little people." They just need us for show, because the important money exchanges are being handled elsewhere.
Are any other Bernie or MOM supporters getting these messages?

(62,325 posts)trying to make it look she has as many individual donors as Bernie? What a deceptive thing to do. If you don't need the money, then stop harassing people only to put on an appearance.
Bernie is so honest, she only makes that more obvious when she does stuff like this.
She should either stop accepting all those Corp donations, what was it they were boasting about it until they realized how much people CARED about this issue, two billion dollars for her campaign?
So sick of the deceptions.
Why I am a Bernie supporter, it is so refreshing to get away from all these people who can only 'win' when they deceive.

(210 posts)Almost daily for a couple weeks now, I get donation requests. Some asking for $1. I never signed up. I have no idea how they got my email. I sent them an email asking hour thru got my contact info and I've gotten nothing but more donation requests. I don't appreciate the unsolicited emails.
