4. I don't read them--FFS

Um, thanks for such a polite reply to a legitimate concern about the VOLUME and subject line of these emails. I don’t read them, but there is such a thing as a “subject line”…you know, that thing that gives you an idea what the email is about so you know it’s spam?

I’ve have heard many people say “I don’t donate because I don’t want to get on a list”. We can sit here an argue that this is not a good reason, but the fact remains that it is a common reason people are hesitant to donate.

Maybe on the donation page have an “opt out” for emails? Since the majority are coming from ACT BLUE, it would seem an easy thing to do.

Those who take the time to donate are usually the type who keep up with politics and know about critical races. Let people opt out and maybe you’ll see donations go up, not down.
