I got sick of all the "give our campaign money" e-mails the Obama campaign has been sending me since I sent them a letter expressing my concerns over his policy towards space exploration, so I asked them to remove me from all of their mailing lists. I also told them exactly why I wanted off. :)
"I sent your campaign a detailed message a few weeks ago explaining my background and my concerns over Sen. Obama's proposed policy to gut space exploration for his education initiative. I have received no actual acknowledgment from anyone in the Obama campaign that my concerns are taken seriously. Instead, I have repeatedly been sent e-mails asking for campaign contributions. So much for the campaign of change!
I have shared my experience with every registered voter I know and many of my friends and colleagues have expressed that they will not vote for Sen. Obama now. I realize that I am just one person, but there are nearly 17,000 full-time NASA civil servants and nearly 40,000 NASA contractors. How many of them does the Obama campaign think will vote for a candidate that has made clear that he doesn't think their work is important? Right now, no one in my household nor any of my colleagues will. As long as Sen. Obama ignores our concerns, that number will only rise."
