DNC: Your membership has expired - We need you back

Dear DNC,

Fuck you. I'll consider becoming a member again when the party and you and the DCCC are no longer being run by a bunch of quisling, sell-out, corrupt, corporate-shill motherfuckers. Don't think the "War On Women" is a winning strategy? Fuck you, again and kiss my ass.

With sincerest regrets,

A former member and donor.

Similar reasoning - my legacy party fell off after 00.

I'm finding other ways now.

Every bit counts. Though I disagree with your choice to step out of the national campaign, it's yours to make. Yet, I feel we need as many involved as possible - in whatever venue they choose - to make a difference.

I was only a member for six years. They are complete corporate sell-outs. Green Party all the way, baby!

I still get mailings and surveys from them. Man, they never give up.

I still support individual Dems, like Pete Stark, Tammy Baldwin and Keith Ellison. There are still some good people there. And, of course, I want a Dem president, considering the alternative is evil itself.

and further believe that the only way this country will progress is through the Democratic Party. That said, when they call I tell them that all my spending for this election cycle will go to the AFL/CIO and if they want some of my money they must ask Richard Trumka for it.

No use for it after they abandoned the 50 state strategy. I donate more to local party organizations instead.
