Reply to a congressional candidate seeking to pick my pocket
First: My name's not THOMAS. It's TOM.
I would never give a penny to any fundraising robot that doesn't get that right. And you can thank ActBlue for that persistent mistake. They go by my credit card name, not my common name. And never asked my preference.
I can't vote in the first district, anyway; so I'm really not your target audience. I have, however, given serious money to candidate Aaron, because I like a flaming progressive; I think he has fire power. Spoken with candidate Sabina, too; be happy with her. There are what? 33 other candidates as well? Oh, my.
And Walter, who are you again? I know what you're not (your paragraph 4).
How was the opening rate on your subject line? Not exactly a barn burner declaration.
And starting with a statistic in your email is how you lose the "3-second test." (I can explain; it comes from neuroscience.)
All this must sound like criticism. Honestly, may the best candidate win. David C. did RI proud, especially during the worst of the Trump years. Little Rhody can punch well above its weight ... with the right people in office (Whitehouse, Jack Reed).

And, yes, I know no one's listening. Hi, robot!
