I keep getting these GOP emails; usually asking for $$$

I'm a lifelong Democrat, having supported JFK when I was in 10th grade.

Friend,

Your name keeps coming up again and again in our conversations, and everyone on the team agrees that you are one of our most trusted supporters.

You’ve clearly earned the right to join the Republican Advisory Board. CONGRATULATIONS. All you need to do to join is to take our Official Survey.

As a member of the board, you’ll join us in our efforts to retake the House and Senate in order to stop Joe Biden from turning the Nation into a socialist country.

An official invitation to join the Republican Advisory Board is highly coveted, so make sure not to miss out on this rare opportunity.

We will match any monetary donation you make. May we put you down for $500, $1,000, or ?

Paid for by the Republican National Committee
Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

I give a little each year to the VFW, despite the fact I’m a lifelong civilian who votes Democratic. As a result, I started getting junk mail from various right-wing groups. I’d like nothing better than to send the junk mail back with a lead weight taped to the envelope, but such practices were made illegal in a postal “reform” a long time ago.

More’s the pity.

Once they realize that the nicest thing you’ll ever do for them is drop a flaming bag of dog shit on their doorstep, they back off. I have used scorched earth to get off many such a Repug candidate’s list.

I've read or been told to not respond to spam as they then know they have an 'active' email.

I need to find a good spam filter. The one that comes with my Comcast internet is %$#%

You get the email of the staffer, or the main office, etc. You then taunt and tell them to get you off their mailing lists permanently. When they find that you’re a heinous pain in the butt and they will never get a donation, they do cut you loose fast. Ever since I scragged Cornyn’s office, which was particularly pushy, I have had ZERO emails, mailers, etc. from ANY TX GOP candidate or politician.

The instant you people stop shooting people of color I will donate.. They try to twist and turn but I just keep saying the same thing over and over.
Stop shooting people of color and I will donate.Stop shooting people of color and I will donate.Stop shooting people of color and I will donate.Stop shooting people of color and I will donate.Stop shooting people of color and I will donate.Stop shooting people of color and I will donate.Stop shooting people of color and I will donate. It's their choice...
After a while they just go away.. YMMV
