The following came to me via my contacts:
Dear Ben Dewell Campaign.
My name is Chris and I recently wanted to reach out to the campaign.
I am 13 years old and politics has always been a huge interest to me
since I was a little boy.
Even my school teacher is amazed at how much I know about American
politics. I have been asked multiple times by my teacher to educate my
class about American politics for all sides of American political
campaigns and parties.
I was wondering if I could get merchandise and information I can have about the campaign to further my knowledge. I have spoken about the campaign many times when talking about
American elections.
That also being said, I want to create a display of all my political merchandise and information to teach kids and adults about American
politics for all sides. I would like to add the campaign merchandise and
information to my display. Thank You again for taking the time to read
this email.
Here is my (mailed) response:

Dear Chris:
Please forgive me for not honoring your request for my campaign materials. I hope you will appreciate that some citizens of this great land run for office when they are compelled by existential forces to become part of the solution – not for Party fealty, nor corporate prid quo pro, nor personal aggrandizement. Without the campaign support my opponents enjoy, I am unable to forward you any of the items you requested, because I do not have them. All I have is a desire and a commitment to fulfill my sworn duty as an American to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Thanks so much for your interest and your support of democracy.
