Instead of soliciting even more money from its record breaking support base, the Obama campaign should spend its reserves.
Why have I been getting two e-mails every fucking day asking for campaign donations when the Obama campaign has a thirty million dollar surplus?
For example, this e-mail from David Plouffe on November 20th:
I have a special request for you…. like in the campaign, we’ve decided to do things differently.
For the first time, transition efforts won’t be financed with donations from Washington lobbyists and PACs — which means we’ll need to keep asking for your help. Your generosity during the campaign helped get us here, but building a more transparent and open government means continuing to rely on a broader group of people to do this the right way.
…Will you help support the urgent mission of our transition team with a donation of $25 or more?
I think I’ll pass.
