and Sen. Clinton,
and Sen. Warren and MoveOn and People for the American Way and Friends Committee on National Legislation and Democratic Nationnal Committee and DailyKos and so many others.
But, today, Sen. Sanders:
Sir:
I am so impressed with your views and believe it is vitally important for the future of our party and our country that you get the chance to make them clear to as many as possible.
That is why I went to your website today to donate a modest amount, which I can't afford, to your campaign. But I didn't.
Instead, I will send a check for the same amount to your headquarters.
You see, I understand that online donations require I divulge certain data, among which is my email address. Okay, no problem. I'm not Rand Paul, thinking that just t sticking my head out of the cave is going to lead to being cruise missilled at Starbucks.
But I am deathly tired of spam. (Insert Monty Python clip.) Spam in every one of my eight inboxes. Commercial spam. Political spam. Community interest spam. Do-gooder-save-the-world-spam. Spam I can't even figure out what the hell it's for.
I'll get that check to you tomorrow. But, if I might, a suggestion:
At the very front end of your online donation process, consider a check box offering the option, "Do not send me emails. My card processing bank or PayPal will confirm my donation. I know the issues that concern me and wish neither to be lectured about things with which I'm already familiar nor endlessly dunned for more money."
I think you might be surprised at the increased prowess of your fundraising machine with this simple addendum.
Yours most sincerely,
Crashing Vor
Addendum
My check's in the mail and my money's where my mouth is. Y'all take care of your own selves.
