Related: About this forumIs anyone else bothered
I am a very strong progressive/liberal and totally support my party and it's principles. I even have contributed what I could to candidates. However, I am now getting 30 to 40 emails DAILY requesting more and more money................ I'm getting tired to all the requests and sorry I am unable to give more. How can we let them know we're tapped out? I want them all to win, but I'm not the Koch Brothers or Adelman. When is it too much?

I agree with what you say, but good luck finding an actual person to talk to who can do anything about this issue.

(2,593 posts)I can't give much either, so I give what I can and I delete the many emails asking for more..... all the while hoping they are able to get the resources needed to win.

I often get letters begging for money from people who oppose my basic rights. 'I'm Tim Kaine, I think your family is a sin against God, won't you please help me with a few dollars?' Barf on all of that.

(6,145 posts)We're going to get out-spent and there's nothing we can do about it. The strategy here in Maryland is to get volunteers to get volunteers to get votes. NOT MONEY.
My donation is my cell phone bill. Every month, I "give" $50 so that I can make calls for Obama. I bought a cell phone just for this purpose because my current plan has limited minutes.
I have to admit, I wish they would come up with a new angle. The "Koch Brothers and Karl Rove" scare tactic is not doing it for me anymore.
