I’ve never donated to a political campaign, but I do get mailings from my local Representative since I’m a constituent.

I assume that if you donate to one of the political campaigns you will receive mailings from them. Is this true? Is there a way to donate without being put on a mailing list?

There must be a way!

No. You can’t.

For one thing, there are legal limitations on how much you can give to a particular candidate in any election cycle, so they need to be able to track that.

Mainly, though, there’s no way a politician is going to let your name go if you’re one of the small minority of Americans who will actually donate directly to a political campaign.

I suppose you could ask, but I doubt they’ll accommodate your request.

If you’re a registered Democrat or Republican you will get mailings like that.

If you donate something like $10, all of that money will be spent on mailings trying to get you to donate more money. Send a money order with no return address.
