Found on Reddit: Repost from another source: the heritage foundation is trying to launder data in support of DOGE by sending a survey to only their supporters and using blatantly leading questions. the survey takes less than 5 minutes and they don't verify your email

$3,267,000 to build a transgender health guide website meant to “increase access to gender-affirming care,” also known as mutilation

wild.

Breast augmentation, ED pills, and testosterone treatments are all gender-affirming care. They're not giving up those things.

It'd be pretty great to use email addresses for the entire DOGE staff.

In fact, it'd be great to use these emails for just about any reason.

Here's a list of them: https://imgur.com/a/rR3SMUr

Jepp, did my part - and i am not even from the states ;)

I'm pretty sure these forms are just designed to get contact into, and to make people feel like they are being heard so that they donate. I wouldn't be surprised if they never use the data.

There isn't even a capta, I'm not sure the data from the form is worth anything.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's also still a push poll designed to influence opinion as much as measure it. That's what they want you to prioritize budget cuts among a shortlist of agencies they selected, with things like "increase budget instead" or "cut some other agency like ICE instead" not being presented as options. It's also why they tell you about cheery-picked and misrepresented "real-life uses of taxpayer dollars" to try to rile you up to further support their treasonous sabotage.

Frankly, even responding with opposite of expected choices to try to poison the data probably helps them more than it hurts because they can still tout your response as supporting budget cuts to the listed agencies.

I support all those things, and I hate DOGE, so says the form I just submitted under a fake name and email.

yousuck@bite.me, if you were curious.

Appears to be broken now :D

[–] LIFEFORM@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Just did one with a temp mail worked fine. The begging for money after submitting made me chuckle.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep also still worked for me

[–] miguel@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nice. I got a post error after mine, so I'm going to have to do it again

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I have a feeling this form does fuck all and it's just there to get people to donate

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

I gave it my all :)
