Peer-reviewed research (cited by a particularly spicy congressional subcommittee hearing...) found that Gmail marked "a significantly higher percentage (67.6%) of emails from the [political] right as spam compared to emails from the left (just 8.2%)". Yahoo! and Outlook filtering leaned right (to a much smaller degree); however, political emails in general faced an uphill battle.

Quick Step to Secure Access

Thank you for becoming a Free Thinker – we couldn't be more excited to welcome you to the club!

As a first order of business, let's make sure you get the benefits you deserve:

If you don't see a welcome email in your inbox, please check your spam folder and mark our message as NOT SPAM. If using Gmail, move to PRIMARY.

To be extra safe (and send positive “I want to read stuff from these guys!” messages to your email provider):

  • Add jessica@quickconservative.com to your contacts/address book
  • Open each toolkit (even if you need to save it for later)
  • Click links, forward content, and/or reply to our messages
⏰
Just because it's working now, doesn't mean it will work later. We send toolkits every couple days – so if you haven't heard from us, please check your spam folder and repeat the steps above.
