The DNC has finally broken my ability to give

...what is the disability here?

Not inconvenience, annoyance, or technical inabilities, which are subjective one's particularities, and not conditional like a physical or mental impairment - which is where 'ableism' might be an appropriate argument.

But I believe I'm addressing the persuasion in this post, can I call it, to just stop giving because, emails, and the obliging responses.

Like I said, delete is your friend for scam emails. It's just that simple, so I don't understand the ding against DNC which needs MORE donations right now.

If you give less than $50 IN CASH, you can do it completely anonymously.

But look, I seriously doubt the DNC is passing your name around. It's basically illegalto sell or use of any information about donors, including their names and addresses, for the purpose of soliciting contributions or for commercial purposes.

Where donors names are found is PUBLIC RECORDS at the FEC which campaigns are required to submit, by law.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, federal law requires that all political action committees (PACs), political parties, and federal candidates disclose any and all contributions that they receive that are over $200. This information, which includes donors' names, addresses, occupations, and employer information, then becomes public record freely available — and easily searchable — via the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

That being said, Bustle was easily able to find the names and personal information of a number of people who'd made donations of less than $200 to presidential candidates and partisan political organizations during the 2016 election. Some of those public records appeared to be folks who had made either a one-time donation of less than $200 or a few single or double-digit donations to a candidate, organization, or state's political party.

It's worth noting that ActBlue's privacy policy clearly states that "campaign finance law requires that we send your name, address, occupation, and employer information along with details of your donation to the recipient of your contribution and report this information in our reports to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) or the relevant respective state agency." The organization does not appear to limit its reported records to donations valued at more than $200.

Other records of single and double digit donations in the FEC's database, however, turned out to be financial donations from people whose combined year-to-date contributions to one particular candidate or organization totaled more than $200. For example, let's say Jane Doe made monthly donations of $25 to the political candidate of her choice. In eight months she'll have donated $200 and her chosen political candidate would legally be required to disclose all of her contributions and information to the FEC. In fact, it would take just a year's worth of recurring monthly donations valued at $16.75 to push a person to the FEC's $200 disclosure limit.

It's worth noting, however, that there are thousands of contributions listed in the FEC's database as having been gifted by "anonymous, anonymous" or "anonymous, no data," and even "ASDFA, ASDFSD.
