Hi. I am new here. I want to join but I am already inundated with insane amounts of mail text messages and email. I don't want more junk mail it gives me massive anxiety. Are these actions going to make more ppl call me and ask for money? Produce 600 trees of mail a day?
If you are calling/writing your reps no, that won't result in any added anything! Except perhaps the occasional response from your rep's office.
If you don't want more emails I'd abstain from signing petitions. That's where I usually get hit the hardest. The Resistbot's aren't petitions, though. They are letters to your reps. So they won't add anything to your inbox either.
One more tip: immediately unsubscribe to candidates' fundraising emails if you do give money. They'll bury you in solicitations if you don't
In short, 99% of my suggested actions will add nothing to your inbox. If you skip the (rare) petitions and the candidate donations (which I virtually never include anyway) make that 100%.
Thank you Jess! From the bathroom - picturing it in my head- 😵💫 but thank you- the joy I get in participating in this seems silly to write but something I look forward to and dare I say need(?) daily!! Can’t do it without you!! PS the glitches happen- no need to apologize- also a daily occurrence these days!

Thanks, KC. I just sat on the floor--nothing too squalid. It was a hotel so spanking clean. (: And thanks for your kind words!
also yay Brunswick ME!
