I wrote to my (R) representative to complain about something years ago. Got a canned response, and a bajillion emails asking me to contribute to his reelection campaign. I thought that was in really poor taste.
They really have no standing.  Political email from both parties ends up in my junk folder.  The difference is that I have *never* contributed to any GOP campaigns, so I have questions on how they acquired my email address in the first place.
