It's a shame that they are driving so many people off by giving your name out to every political candidate in the United States. Between email and text I get at least 20 requests a day. When I contacted act blue headquarters and complained about this they said there was nothing they could do because they don't sell your list they give it away only two candidates running for office. That is a lie because I get multiple requests from Gavin Newsom, Bernie Sanders and many more. I have written several letters to DNC chair, Kamala Harris, Jamie Raskin and others but NEVER get a single response. The Democrats lose because they don't know how to fight. Not getting donations is certainly not going to be of any help.

Don't worry, tRump is going after their tax exempt status. Basso8vb May 15 #4

Maybe ActBlue is doing the foot shooting? crimycarny May 15 #6

I think it's more than just Act Blue. The candidates give the lists to each other. Intractable May 15 #7

ActBlue is caught in the crossfire, but there's something they could do about it cadoman May 18 #16
