from ELIZABETH WARREN:

[frazzled]

4. Yes, we all got this email today

Which, along with the seven or so other emails I received today that are about giving money, I deleted.

I gave way more than I could afford this past year, to the DSCC, DCCC, Obama campaign, and individual races. Now they are sending me daily "membership records," petitions, "big announcements," and all manner of things to try to induce me to give more. Including everything from Russ Feingold's Progressives United to Vote Vets to a dozen other groups.

Sorry, but I'm cashed out on this stuff and need to refocus on my own needs (like a big home repair I just found out about). Let's see how races are starting to shape up by the end of this year. I feel like every petition I foolishly sign and every big announcement I know is really just an appeal for money, and is starting to take me, if not for a dupe, at least for granted. And everyone wants to get their own pot of money to control, because that's the way to power. I'm speaking in general here, so no particular criticism of Elizabeth Warren specifically. Just let me send a message to them all: Don't call (write) me, I'll call (write) you.

Can you tell I'm in a bad mood today?
