I do get my fair share of "sign this petition/call your representative" kind of stuff.
But MomsRising emails me far less frequently than MoveOn, or either the HRC or Obama campaign. I'd say a few emails a month (not several emails a week). I got involved over a public breast feeding issue (something I'm pretty vocal about, if you've read my posts on the subject).
The latest email was about an event in a city near my home.
I've also gotten emails with links on how to test lead in toys, or how to look up a toy on the shelf in a store to see if it's been tested for lead.
I was asked late last year to vote for specific issues I'd like MomsRising to focus on in the election cycle. More in-depth than a "rate these causes most to least important" form.
And I've gotten email that serve as newsletters/updates on work by the organization.
Easy to ignore, if you're not interested in the "cause du jour." Easy to get involved, if you are.
