      <![CDATA[Remember the halcyon days of the Obama campaign, being pleased to receive an e-mail update? For once, buying something (donating to the campaign) and being automatically signed up for an e-mail newsletter did not seem like an electronic atrocity.<br />Yes: those were the days! But lately the meaningless campaign non-issue-mails and the pleas for ever more cash have begun to grate. And with <a href="http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/07/09/fisa_vote/index.html">today’s vote</a>, well, damn. Way to make fools of your strongest supporters, dude. And to Hillary Clinton: well played! Oh, how her NAY vote is so very back-stabbing and cunning. Probably? Or maybe Clinton listened to the deluge of e-mail from this and other of her New York constituents. It doesn’t matter—Barack walked into this trap and <a href="http://letters.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/07/09/fisa/permalink/1f6a0fa30ad831335d0dff067799cd1d.html">it was stupid</a>.<br />Those of us that are less than pleased with this latest evolution of our campaign can’t get our money back, but we can at least <a href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/unsubscribe/">unsubscribe</a>. En masse, this week, to register our disgust. I’M ASKING YOU TO SUSPEND BELIEF, until such time as it is again deserved.<br />And don’t forget to <a href="http://technically.us/city/x/take-me-off-your-list-please/">leave a message</a>.]]>
