Negative Campaign Fundraising Messages [View all]

Because I've donated to Democratic candidates in the past, I receive a lot of emails and texts asking for more donations. What bothers me is the negativity and fear in these messages. It's always something like "we're losing" or "I'm being outspent." Personally, those negative messages don't motivate or inspire me to donate.
