I got an email today from a republican group. Here's my response:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I have no idea where you got my email address. I AM A DEMOCRAT, A LIBERAL ONE. Please go away and leave us honest Americans alone. Ugh.



That felt good.

[Mz Pip]

1. Good for you

I never get those emails. I wish I did. Might be fun to tell them off.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thanks, my dear Mz Pip!

Honestly, it did feel good!

[blm]

2. Applause

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Thanks!

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. Go, Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Thanks, and you bet I am, my dear GPV!

[mcar]

7. Great response!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Thanks so much! Ah, it felt good!

[question everything]

9. Too bad it was not a snail mail. These usually come with "no stamp necessary"

So I would mail it back with similar comments.

[MLAA]

10. Good for you!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. You may have been one of the 200 million in the RNC breach.

Repugs collected as many voter names, etc. as they could and those were exposed in the breach at the RNC.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Way to go!!

[sellitman]

13. I wouldn't of been so nice

I commend you.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Me either. NRA called me once. I "unloaded" as I was "triggered" by how they have become fascist.

[warmfeet]

15. Excellent response.

I often get over a hundred emails a day, and only from fellow Democrats and associated groups. I am grateful for that.

[cate94]

16. I love this!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

17. They are reaching out. Hoping.

RNC called yesterday. I did not pick up.

[TNNurse]

18. I got a call several years ago asking me who our household was voting for in a Republican primary.

I responded..."wow, did you call the wrong house" and he laughed.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

19. I got a phone call from the RNC tonight

A woman asked for me and began to talk about trump..my reply--are you f..king kidding me, asking about that asshole? She replied, we'll take you off our call list. I can't imagine how I ever got on their list. I have never been a repub in my long entire life.

[Fritz Walter]

27. You're a lot more polite than I am

I’d cut the caller off in mid-sentence and demand to know where they got your number, even if yours is listed/published. If they don’t give you a straight answer, insist on speaking with the supervisor.
Get names (caller, Company, PAC, etc) and tell them that you are on the Do-Not-Call Registry, and that you will immediately report this call.

After the call, add the Caller-ID number to your phone company’s blocked-numbers list.

[Duppers]

20. Sounds like me answering my door

When I was shoved a rethugian flyer.

"I AM A DEMOCRAT, A LIBERAL ONE. Please go away."

👍 👍

[llmart]

21. I love how you said "us honest Americans".

That was beautiful. Quite a nice little dig you got in there. I'm never that quick on my feet.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Well, honestly, I did have time to think about it. Since it was an email and all! Thanks!

[Stuart G]

22. Thank You ...Great Post...K and R. no text..

[BComplex]

24. I was with some tRumpettes at an event the other night, when one of them got a Bernie

text. She showed it around on her phone, and texted back "Trump 2020"!!!!

She was so proud of herself. Fox news plays at her house 24/7.

[Fritz Walter]

25. Nicely done! One tiny suggestion...

...if you haven’t done so already: report that sender to your email carrier as “spam.” Don’t just unsubscribe. That conveys to the sender that yours is a valid address. (I always hesitate to hit the unsub link, in fine print at the bottom of the junk message).
Rather, move that message to the Spam folder (preferably on the web portal). If your carrier has other ways to “Block this sender,” follow those steps.

Stay strong!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. That's a great suggestion, and one that I didn't take.

I hadn't realized that unsubscribing would tell the sender that my address is a valid email.

I will remember that for next time, and Thank You!

28. Good work Peggy!!!

[SlimJimmy]

29. Way to put it to them, Peggy.
