If you sign virtually ANY progressive petition, then first read the fine print. By signing you are agreeing to receive more - many times per day - spam from "Daily Kos". - If reply with "unsubscribe" then the originators of DK are simply receiving confirmation of your e-mail. The do not comply with your request. - If you try to leave a comment on the DK website, then you have to open an account with those clowns. - If you try to call DK on their phone number, usually no one will pick it up. - Even if you do succeed in demanding a person at DK remove your e-mail from their social spam justice list, then they will creep back on. - The only way to deal with them is for all petition sites to have explicit radio buttons to confirm your e-mail on their mailing lists. This is becoming as outrageous as trump-spam or the usual spam nonsence.
