Suck on 8

[furtech]

I -knew- it was a bad idea to donate to a political organization. I try never to toss money to politicos. None of them are honest or fair, however worthy their cause is. Right now things are particularly tight money-wise and every dollar is precious.

I donated money to one of the Prop. 8 sides...and I -clearly- checked the boxes asking not to be signed up for any mailing lists and -not- to have email sent to me. I was already hesitant because they ask for all kinds of personal information-- information I generally don't trust with any online site (how many times have I heard about laptops with unencrypted information being stolen? Too many)

And what do I see in my inbox today? A "concerned" email from an affiliated organization telling me how desperately money is needed and how "they" (the other side) just got a bazillion dollars in donations and how I need to send them some, too, to balance it out! Moar money plz!

I had to go back to the site and "opt out" again. I HATE being lied to. Never again. Suck.

I want my money back.

That's why I donate by check. Company check. They generally don't come back & beg, and if they do, it would have to be by snail mail.

Y'know-- that's a good idea. Unfortunately, time is short enough that I wanted to make sure the donation did some good. Mea culpa.

Money Order.. that's what I do. Been spammed too often, and now with account debit so easy, I don't care to share my bank account number with unknown parties.
