I have donated to no-one this election cycle. Not a single candidate. None. Zip. Zero. Nein!
I donated nearly a thousand dollars to Obama in 2008, and hundreds of dollars to other down-ballot candidates. I didn’t donate in 2012. I had more pressing financial concerns,
Over the past two months I have been receiving numerous emails from the Hillary campaign treating me as if I had previously given her money. We know the emails. They are spam in our Inbox. I never gave her money though.
I have not once received a similar email from the Bernie Sanders campaign. I have received emails from progressive organizations urging me to support Bernie. Yet, nothing officially from the Bernie campaign.
Why is this?
Does the Hillary campaign have access to my donation history that the Sanders campaign does not? The recent behavior of the party makes me fear the worst.
So, as a Bernie supporter I need to at least even the playing field of my email Inbox. I will donate 50$ today and may donate more for each and every unsolicited Hillary fundraising email I receive.
You cannot count on my support if I never offered it in the first place.
Thank you.
Updating with an example:
Thomas --
My mom has always been able to count on you, especially during the big moments.
That's why we’re asking for your help now.
Tonight we're facing our biggest quarterly FEC fundraising deadline yet -- and the last one before voters start heading to the polls!
Can you chip in $1 to help hit our fundraising goal and make sure we're ready to win in Iowa and New Hampshire?
Thank you!
