OMG, she tracked me down. Kamala is awesome

I never get political support solicitation emails from anyone because I never engage anywhere.
Seriously, I am not on lists.
So surprised I was to get a personal 'Dear (name Mom gave me)', from our next and first Presidenta.
The Democratic Party reach-out is overlooking no one, even those hiding out, outside the Nation's borders.

Good for us, all the sane around the world.
The mala upon which all our desires are strung, the first Woman President of the United States of America, Kamala Harris.

we block them and they keep coming. The new ones he got were in my name but to his number. He thought I gave some money or did something. I haven't done anything yet this year, mostly because I hate all the texts and emails.

I haven't donated to any politician in many many years, but I checked my email this afternoon and there was a donation request from the Harris campaign.

Fortunately for her I can't say no.

Sometimes it happens to be the wrong number.
I see on DU: "Why is Trump contacting me?" (Because they have the wrong number or email)

Subscriber info is most accurate for slightly older (established ) adults and is the least accurate for those under 25 (who may be under the parents' accounts) It also tends to be less accurate for people who change phone numbers or carriers frequently etc.

I've had my cell phone since 2012. A Republican named JG must have had this number before I had it. I have gotten texts for him. A friend was also reaching out to swing voters said she ended up contacting JG and realized it was my number. My phone and JG's phone number were both the same in VAN for awhile.

Land lines were much more accurate.

cell number for 25 years. My 1st cell! And until last Sept only dumb phones which I used only when out meeting someone, or traveling. Most of the time it lived in my purse, never to come out. Yes, I am that ancient

Kamala didn’t use my name though, so who knows.

I know campaign consultants who wait to vote until election day, just so they can keep receiving the oppositions' snail mailers LOL
