Harris For President - Emailing Like the Old Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon

 "Friends -- we’re just hours away from the first end-of-month deadline of the Harris campaign, and the truth is, we’re tracking behind what we hope to raise by midnight."

Between (New York Time) 3:34 PM and 11:26 PM in just one day I received four emails with some version of the above from Kamala Harris headquarters. 

At the very least, all that is annoying. My work has me continually monitoring email and I resent the inbox cluttered with Harris pleas for money. 

More to the point, this version of a "public nuisance" is a lousy reset of who Harris is supposedly now about. Where is the new presence, self-confidence and leadership? The rawness of the pleas for money echoes the comic quality of those old Jerry Lewis Labor Day telethons. 

Those on the macro level of fundraising in this campaign, that is they are the ones approaching the millionaires and billionaires such as law firm Paul, Weiss chair Brad Karp and the major super PAC, should counsel restraint in grassroots communications. 

The excess emailing goes beyond chasing the bucks. It also refers to policy issues. There have been times when the communication would discuss substance. That was announced in the subject head. No, I didn't open them. Too much of an overload.

Admittedly, Barack Obama raised money and his profile through the new medium of texting. That was then. The approach was fresh. Email is so yesterday. Needed, especially in some professions such as practicing law, but dreaded.

Harris for President, please delete me from your list. I am an Independent.
