In case you don't see my snail mail reply, here's a copy:
Joe,
Okay, I'll tell you why. I gave money to HRC explicitly to help fight Prop 8. I didn't do it because I wanted to become a member. I didn't do it because I wanted more mail in my inbox. I didn't do it because I wanted magazine after magazine that went straight into recycling after I removed the plastic bag it came in. I didn't do it because I wanted continued solicitations for money in the mail. I didn't do it because I wanted offers for an HRC credit card. I didn't do it because I wanted HRC to call me at home repeatedly.
I didn't do it for any that, I didn't ask for any of that, and I don't want any of that. I just wanted to donate money to your efforts and be left alone. So please, leave me alone. Take me off all your lists. Each of the now countless times you've pestered me since my donations has made me less likely to donate in the future. And I'm not the only one who feels this way.
It's quite all right if you don't write me back.

This little kitty is not mine, she belongs to someone in my neighborhood. I named her Daisy a couple of years ago. She likes to hang out in my backyard from time to time and sometimes perches atop the fence by my bedroom window where she torments my indoor kitties and hisses at them. A couple of months ago Daisy came around and one of her eyes wasn't looking so good. She is skiddisih sometimes and I couldn't get a really good luck. This past Friday she showed up in my yard and that eye is now black and beyond help. Her owners (I call them something else, but I'll refrain from doing that in a public forum) put a new collar on her (with no contact information), but didn't bother taking her to the vet and saving her eye. Sometimes I think I should take her to a shelter, but am afraid what would happen to her there. My husband says she's fine and I should leave her be. I hate not knowing what the right thing to do is.
The lady with the van in the reflection always parks on our lawn. Now that there is snow piled up there she's taken to parking in the Fire Hall Emergency parking.
