Obama campaign: where is your donation?

A while ago I signed up with BarackObama.com to see what emails I am going to get. (I did it after reading an article by Polish reporter complaining about never ending requests for $3 - $5 donations.)

Yesterday I got this gem: "As you may have noticed, we've asked you for a donation a few times now. But according to our records, you haven't yet made an online donation to this campaign at this email address." Attached to that is a link to a form titled: "Which best describes your attitude?"

What is striking is that they don't care what I think about Obama so far. Just why I didn't donate money yet. Here is a form:
Which best describes your attitude? *
  • I plan to donate to President Obama's campaign in the next few months
  • I plan to donate after a Republican nominee is selected
  • I plan to donate in the last few months of the campaign
  • I do not plan to donate
  • I have already donated to the President's 2012 Campaign
  • OTHER: [please specify]
If other (please specify)
What's one thing that would inspire you to donate to the Obama campaign?*

* denotes required field

I have to admit, I didn't see the other requests. I got tired of opening their emails coming on almost daily bases. I am going to ignore this request, just to see what will come next.
