4. This is why I QUIT SENDING MONEY TO CANDIDATES!

Six years ago I sent hundreds of dollars to different Democratic candidates. Within 3 months I was receiving dozens of emails EVERY WEEK begging for money. We're not rich. What we sent took from our reserves, deprived us from eating out, tours, attractions and other spur of the moment reasons to enjoy the ever shortening rest of our lives.

If I want to support one or more candidates of a party, that doesn't mean I support all of the candidates running in that party.

PLEASE STOP your incessant begging!
