2. Too many requests from too many organizations

I have posted before about receiving 30+ requests from all kinds of organizations and people that I've never heard of, per day just before the elections.
The law enables my personal information to be distributed to every campaign in the country, just because I made one donation to one campaign, FOREVER!!!! The messages and emails I receive could be Rethug for all I know. I don't trust any of them. Indivisible gets lost in the onslaught.

I have said before I want to opt out!
There is NO PRACTICAL METHOD to do so.

I refuse to change the email address I've had for 30 years, and changing my phone number of 35 years is not an option either (do you know how many accounts are tied to your phone number and/or email address? I have over 500 contacts on my phone, and more than 400 entries in my password app, many of which use my email as a username (STUPID, but the norm)).

End result: No-one is getting any donations, I mark every single request for a donation as spam, unless it's directly from a campaign or person I trust.
