Hi Act Blue...I assume you monitor us. On the next election cycle -

[OAITW r.2.0]

How about this. I opt in on candidates I want to support and you act as a bouncer to anyone else trying to get into my club?

1. That's a great idea, but Act Blue probably sells your info to all comers.

Your data is a commodity for them. I doubt they would want to let that revenue stream go....

2. Act Blue probably made a killing this election cycle. Any numbers?

[Sogo]

3. I don't have any or know where to get it.

Personally, Act Blue made me so furious this cycle that I did not leave them a single tip. I was so inundated with emails and texts that it interfered with my business and caused me to miss important texts and emails, because I sometimes overlooked the important stuff in among the dozens and dozens of political emails and texts each and every day.

I don't know exactly how I'll solve the problem, because now my data is in their system and will be used again next election. But I will try to figure out something short of having to get a new phone number and email account. It's not fair that I would have to abandon established accounts because of what became an harassment of donation requests!

4. I can relate. They best change their thinking or I will bail from a great conduit to deliver donations.

5. I donated to six candidates this past election, all through their websites and a link to Actblue, and were never....

....bothered for more contributions.
